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. <br>&#8212; Bill Brosseau, Winemaker <p> 396 cases produced <p> <b> <p><b> 93 pts <i>Wine & Spirits</i><br></b> Featured on Year's Best Chardonnay list for 2007!</b><br> <i>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. </i> -Joshua Green <p><b> 90 pts <i>Wine Advocate</i><br></b> <i> 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.</i> -Robert Parker <p><b> 90 pts <i>Connoisseurs&#8217; Guide</i><br></b> <i>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.</i> -Charles Olken <p> <b><p>NOTE:</b> 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</P> <P> <LI>SKU: 05CSB1 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category1" TITLE="&lt;b&gt;Wine&lt;/b&gt;"><b>Wine</b></A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category5" TITLE="&lt;b&gt;Chardonnay&lt;/b&gt;"><b>Chardonnay</b></A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product158 TITLE="DONT USE_2007 Rosella's Vineyard Chardonnay">DONT USE_2007 Rosella's Vineyard Chardonnay</A> -- <b>New Release!</b> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product175 TITLE="2007 Diana's Chardonnay">2007 Diana's Chardonnay</A> -- <b>92 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</i></b><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product137 TITLE="2007 Castello Chardonnay">2007 Castello Chardonnay</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product138 TITLE="2007 Castello Chardonnay - 375 ml Case">2007 Castello Chardonnay - 375 ml Case</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product186 TITLE="2007 La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay">2007 La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay</A> -- <b>New Release!<br>95 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</i><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product163 TITLE="2007 Sanford &amp; Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay">2007 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay</A> -- <b>94 pts <i> Wine Enthusiast</i><br>93 pts<i> Connoisseurs' Guide</i></b><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product57 TITLE="Simply Chardonnay Gift Basket">Simply Chardonnay Gift Basket</A> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa" TITLE="Testarossa Winery Products">Testarossa Winery Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.testarossa.com">Testarossa Wines from Testarossa Vineyards, Bien Nacido Vineyard "Elder Series" Chardonnay, Cuvée Niclaire Pinot Noir, Diana's Reserve Chardonnay, Fritschen Vineyard Pinot Noir, Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir, Graham Family Vineyard Pinot Noir, La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay, La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> <BR>Testarossa Winery Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce solutions">ecommerce solutions</A>
