Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2032, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

The 2022 The Twelve Rows Chardonnay perfectly showcases both the pedigree of the Sanford & Benedict site and thoughtfully applied winemaking. The nose shows the rounder, more oak-influenced style typical for this wine, with aromas of pastry cream and melted caramel integrating with the site's flashy, focused lift. The palate is similarly richer and more textural, displaying a glossy polish that seamlessly transitions to a toasty yet classy finish braced with balancing acidity.

The 2022 Chardonnay Sanford and Benedict Vineyard The Twelve Rows is sourced from vines planted in 1971. Scents of white flowers, mint, apricot and green apple open first. There's gorgeous mid-palate sweetness that complements the more mineral-driven, saline notes that emerge over time. This textured, expansive Chardonnay captures all the magic of Sanford & Benedict.
