More serious and well-endowed, the 2008 Chardonnay Bench Blend offers a beautiful bouquet of crushed rocks, unbuttered popcorn, tangerines and honey. This medium to full-bodied Chardonnay went through full malolactic, but has kept the oak component well-balanced in its overall personality. Enjoy it over the next year. Now owned by the vast Gallo empire, Gallo deserves enormous credit for finally getting these wines back on the track. The William Hill brand has been one of the most mediocre Napa names for many years, but that is certainly not the case with the current and upcoming releases. Tel. (888) 909-9463
