"The 2019 Chardonnay Bentrock Vineyard is scented of beeswax, jasmine and roasted almonds with tinges of tangerine peel, honey and fresh cream. The palate is bright and minerally at this early stage, with honeyed peaches coming through on the long, energetic finish. Give this another year or two in bottle." -Erin Brooks
