James Suckling
Agile and vivid in character, with a saline quality to the crushed oyster shells that dust persimmon and lemon pith, all remaining sappy, savory and filigreed in the long finish.

Wine Advocate
The 2023 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict beautifully encapsulates the regal, classy nature of the site, opening with a pure bouquet of green orchard fruits, citrus blossoms, tropical citrus and an elegantly rich backdrop. The palate is vibrant and deftly polished while subtly enriched by a creamy yet contained core. It concludes with a high-toned, mouthwatering finish that lingers with minty, herbal undertones, which rapidly expand and prove additional energy after a short time in the glass.

Vinous
Distinct salinity and creamy orchard fruit tones introduce the 2023 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Generous and broad-shouldered, there's an attractive plushness to this wine that juxtaposes ripe fruit against chalky, sea-spray-infused energy. Attractively pure and transparent through and through.
