Whole-cluster pressed, this wine is fermented in neutral French oak and sees no malolactic. The 2018 Chardonnay Grace Benoist Ranch gives up uncomplicated notes of baked apples, Bosc pears and musk melon with a hint of toast. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lovely satiny texture with a racy line lifting the stone fruit flavors, finishing with a citrusy kick. 1,819 cases were made.
