Au Bon Climat Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay - 2017 (750ml) Little Cellar 21 a big licorice finish comes(2017 vintage) "Delicate aromas of macadamia nut, cream, sweet butter and orange zest lure the nose into this bottling that celebrates the late Jim Clendenen's 32nd vintage. There are sizzles of river stones and chalk right away on the palate, where riper flavors of coconut, star fruit, cherimoya and other creamy, white fleshed fruits arise. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg complete the finish. Matt Kettmann" Wine Enthusiast
