The 2020 Chardonnay Bentrock is redolent of slate, crushed rocks, white pepper, mint and lemon peel, along with a hint of reduction that adds character, but without dominating the balance, as has at times been the case here. Readers who like focused, taut Chardonnays won't want to miss the Bentrock. It is world-class. A second bottle, tasted far away from the winery and vineyards, was every bit as impressive.
