Benziger Family Winery Carneros Sangiacamo Vineyard Chardonnay 2007
Region: Carneros, California
Winery: Benziger Family Winery
Variety: Chardonnay
Rating: 5
Color: Golden straw, slightly viscous
Nose: Beautiful nose here, one of the best I've encountered for Chard. Florals abound, of citrus blossom, then baking spices come in with clover and cinnamon to accompany the Meyer lemon, yellow apple and peach medley.
Palate: Very, very good and extremely good QPR for this single vineyard Chard. Full and sensual mouthfeel starts off with some creaminess and adds in lemon meringue then moves to a more spicy mid-palate that shows off the crisp minimality and acidity, followed by an alternating nutty finish that is also quite crisp and knife-edged clean with further great lemon and green apple. A tremendous effort!
