James Suckling
Reviewed November 2023Flinty with lightly dried apple and hints of white blossom and minerals. Medium to full body that sneaks up on your palate, starting off minerally and then finishes with a round texture and the richness of light cream and yoghurt. Lovely layers here. No malolactic. Drink now or hold.

Vinous
The 2022 Chardonnay Grace Benoist Ranch is a blend of three different blocks and six clones. It offers good depth in its citrus peel, mineral and savory undertones. Blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors bright. There's good depth and plenty of complexity. (AG)

Wine Spectator
A distinctive version, offering notes of dried honeysuckle and toasted sesame seed, with a hint of tangy tamarind adding to the mouthwatering quality that defines this wine. Lemon, Honeycrisp apple, lemon verbena and lime zest notes expand on the long finish. Drink now. (MW)

The Wine Independent
Notes of fresh yellow apples, juicy pears, and croissant pop from the glass of the 2022 Grace Benoist Ranch Chardonnay, leading to hints of chalk dust and nutmeg. The medium-bodied palate has a racy backbone and delicate flavors, finishing with a citrusy lift. (LPB)
