Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17/20

Terlato-owned mostly clay 25-ha vineyard. Mostly 35-year-old vines.

It's relatively rich, with a little bitter bite on the finish. Great structure.

Drink 2023 - 2028

Antonio Galloni 92/100

The 2020 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is deep and quite powerful, but also rather monolithic at this stage. It will be interesting to see if the 2020 acquires more finesse in time. There's a chance that will happen, as the 2020 has quite a bit of freshness and plenty of body. Today, though, it comes across as rather raw and unformed.
