Sandhi, Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay Vintage:2012 especially next to the Alpine

especially next to the Alpine bottling from which it derives

Quite exciting

Vanilla and toasty oak aromas and flavors are wrapped around a core of cherry

This is already approachable though will certainly benefit from a few years of cellar time

Historic estate

Sandhi, Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay Vintage:2012 especially next to the AlpineLight yellow gold. Vibrant, mineral laced aromas of Meyer lemon, pear and jasmine, with a touch of iodine emerging with aeration. Juicy and precise, offering fresh orchard and citrus fruit flavors underscored by a chalky mineral quality that adds lift and cut. Fleshes out with air and finishes sappy and long, with a hint of toasty lees and resonating minerality. Josh Raynolds
