Sandhi’s 2022 Sanford and Benedict Chardonnay is taut and racy yet quietly luxurious, layering ripe pear, yellow apple and sweet lemon over a core of chalky, river-stone minerality and gentle baking-spice richness. The texture is creamy but controlled, with brisk acidity and a long, precise finish that promises even more detail with a few years of cellaring.

Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay is Sandhi’s single‑vineyard Chardonnay from the historic Sanford & Benedict site in the Sta. Rita Hills; it’s a cool‑climate, Old‑Vine expression often fermented with native yeasts and aged in a mix of neutral and lightly toasted French oak to preserve bright citrus and white‑stone fruit. The wine is notable for racy acidity, saline/mineral drive and a restrained, Burgundian‑leaning texture—more focused on precision and terroir than overt oak or tropical fruit.
