Tasting note

Benziger is serious about sustainability. With the help of Stellar Certification Services, they have implemented a third-party certification and work with their growers to reward sustainable vineyard practices. This juicy, bright Chardonnay shows notions of peach, pear and lemon meringue pie with an intriguing flint-smoke quality and is a good choice for roasted or barbecued chicken.

This dry, full-bodied and woody white displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and full-bodied texture precede a medium finish.

Creamy spicy baked apples with a twist of butterscotch mark the palate and finish with bits of toast, honey and vanilla. A friendly, fruit-forward Chardonnay.
