The 2020 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard is lifted and vibrant aromatically, with fresh herbs, lime zest, fennel, and fresh flowers. On the palate. this medium-bodied white is juicy and rounded with wonderful purity and fresh acidity without harshness. Ripe honeydew melon fills the palate, with a refreshing, soft stone texture and a touch of salinity. It’s a beautiful wine from this site in the Green Valley of the Russian River.
The 2020 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1980. It was matured in 35% new French oak for 12 months and finished with an additional six months in stainless steel. The nose is shy to begin, taking time to offer peach, citrus blossom and beeswax perfume. The medium-bodied palate pairs expansive, gently honeyed fruit with focused acidity that drives the layered finish. Intense and bright at this youthful stage, enjoy it over the next 3-5 years. 350 cases were made.
The 2020 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard is quite airy and understated. White flowers, pear, spice and a touch of tangerine oil are nicely lifted. Medium in body and impeccable in balance, the 2020 is very nicely done.
