The first vintage for this cuvee, the 2011 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict comes from vines planted in 1971. It shows the house style with its lithe, racy feel, clean, classic aromatics and edgy underlying minerality. Lime, citrus, sappy underbrush and crushed stone all flow from this medium-bodied, rich and layered beauty; it too should benefit from another year in bottle. Drink 2014-2019. These superb wines are made by Justin Willett (who worked previously with Joe Davis at Arcadian) from his home base in Lompoc. The wines lean heavily towards the lean, edgy side of the spectrum, yet have incredible poise, delineation and energy. These are exciting wines! Tel. (805) 769-4639; www.tylerwinery.com
