Intense aromas of passionfruit, banana, orange blossoms, and fig. The wine starts with a firm structure, yet softens into a long, rich finish of peach and honey flavors. This wine should drink well through 2013. — Bill Brosseau, Winemaker 396 cases produced 93 pts Wine & Spirits Featured on Year's Best Chardonnay list for 2007! This is Testarossa's second vintage from Sanford & Benedict, a vineyard planted in 1971. It's spicy, succulent and firm, with a sophisticated structure that's immediately apparent in layers of ripe pineapple flavor, earthiness and floral tones. Give it time in a decanter and rhe seaside character of the wine begins to emerge, with a freshness and brininess to balance all the richness of the fruit. A little refreshing chardonnay , built to cellar. -Joshua Green 90 pts Wine Advocate The medium-bodied 2005 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard exhibits aromas of white peaches, currants, minerals, earth, and a subtle touch of oak. It, too, can be drunk over the next 1-2 years. -Robert Parker 90 pts Connoisseurs’ Guide Ripe, but never excessively so, and decked out in plenty of rich oak, this deep and juicy young wine is generously appointed with a wealth of spiced-apple fruit. It is fairly full on the palate and is brightened by good acidity. -Charles Olken NOTE: We can only ship wine to the following states: AK, CA, CO, FL, IA, IL, KY, MI, MN, MO, NC, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, TX, VA, WA, WI <LI>SKU: 05CSB1 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category1" TITLE="Wine">Wine</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category5" TITLE="Chardonnay">Chardonnay</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product82 TITLE="2006 Castello Chardonnay">2006 Castello Chardonnay</A> -- 91pts Connoisseurs' Guide 5*'s Restaurant Wine <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product83 TITLE="2006 Castello Chardonnay - 375 ml Case">2006 Castello Chardonnay - 375 ml Case</A> -- 5*'s Restaurant Wine <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product115 TITLE="2006 Bien Nacido Vineyard "Elder Series" Chardonnay">2006 Bien Nacido Vineyard "Elder Series" Chardonnay</A> -- 93 pts Wine Enthusiast 92 pts Connoisseurs’ Guide <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product121 TITLE="2006 Brosseau Vineyard Chardonnay">2006 Brosseau Vineyard Chardonnay</A> -- New Release! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product113 TITLE="2006 Rosella's Vineyard Chardonnay">2006 Rosella's Vineyard Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product126 TITLE="2006 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay">2006 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay</A> -- New Release! 93 pts Connoisseurs' Guide <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product119 TITLE="2006 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay">2006 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay</A> -- 92 pts Wine Spectator 91 pts Wine Enthusiast 91 pts Connoisseurs' Guide <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product87 TITLE="2005 Diana's Reserve Chardonnay">2005 Diana's Reserve Chardonnay</A> -- 92 pts Wine Spectator 92 pts Wine Enthusiast <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa" TITLE="Testarossa Vineyards Products">Testarossa Vineyards Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.testarossa.com">Testarossa Vineyards</A> Testarossa Vineyards Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce solutions">ecommerce solutions</A>
