Sanford & Benedict is one of the most important vineyards in the history of California wine. The site of the first plantings in Santa Barbara's Sta. Rita Hills region, the vineyard proved the viability of Burgundy varietals in the cool, wind-swept regions along California's coastline. Since 2018, Arnot-Roberts have sourced Chardonnay from the site, combining their leading expertise in minimal intervention winemaking with some of the state's finest fruit to create a Chardonnay of frankly staggering elegance and purity. Singing of orchard fruit, mint, white pepper, lemon peel, and floral notes, this is a bright and beautifully layered white wine. 

91/100 - The 2023 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is another very classy, polished wine from Arnot-Roberts. Jasmine, orchard fruit, mint and white pepper linger. The Arnot-Roberts S&B emerges from the oldest vines on this legendary site. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

On the nose, high-toned aromatics of yellow peach, honey, spice, white flowers, and lemon confit.

On the palate, medium-bodied and concentrated yet not even close to overripe. Expansive and silky on the palate, it's energetic acidity adds tremendous balance. Citrus and stone-fruit flavours meld into a mix of subtle, creamy power.

WINERY HISTORY

Arnot-Roberts was founded by childhood friends Nathan Lee Roberts and Duncan Arnot Meyers. Established in Healdsburg in 2001, the pair’s relationship with wine stretches much further back. Both Napa Valley natives, they grew up deeply rooted in the community, surrounded by vineyards, winemakers, and the agrarian rhythms of California’s wine country. Following their graduation from university, Nathan... Read More >>
