Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Aug 2013

Beautiful, with less noticeable oak, the 2010 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard offers beautiful typicity with ripe apple, mineral, toasted nut and hints of flowers to go with a fresh, lively and awesomely pure and detailed palate. Clean, elegant and with building richness, it has a layered, multi-dimensional palate feel, great acidity and a focused finish. Classy all the way, it’s a great Chardonnay! Enjoy it over the coming 4-5 years, although it will probably evolve gracefully after that as well. Drink now-2018+. Tel. (805) 963-7999; www.aubonclimat.com

The 2010 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is one of the more overt Chardonnays I have tasted from Jim Clendenen of late. Ripe, tropical and juicy, the 2010 is a wine of volume and textural depth. Honey, smoke and almonds are some of the many notes that flesh out on the caressing finish.
