Magnum - 2020 Chardonnay - Bentrock Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
94 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2020 Chardonnay - Bentrock Vineyard is an incredibly textural and full-bodied Chardonnay, which still retains a bright acidity and a fresh character. Notes of citrus: key lime and grapefruit, green apple, sea spray, tart pineapple and white mushroom on the nose are resonated on the palate along with a lovely, full mouthfeel and a long finish. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager

"The 2020 Chardonnay - Bentrock Vineyard offers good depth and desity in a soft, open-knit style that presents quite a bit of immediacy and overall appeal. Orchard fruit, brioche, spice and dried flowers caress the palate. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural breadth and resonance, while bring saline undertones extend the finish." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Chardonnay Bentrock Vineyard sports a vivid gold hue to go with a beautiful Sta. Rita Hills profile of honeyed apple, citrus, toasted bread, and subtle marine and iron-like nuances. It's medium-bodied, has good acidity, and a great finish. It's going to keep for a decade." -Jeb Dunnuck
