Reserve

2006 Carneros Chardonnay

The Benziger Family Winery Reserve 2006 Chardonnay from the Carneros region is a delightful expression of this renowned varietal. This full-bodied wine showcases a mouthwatering acidity that invigorates the palate, creating a refreshing drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe stone fruit and citrus complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and oak, a testament to its careful aging. The balanced structure is enriched by a medium level of tannins, which provide just enough grip without overwhelming the smooth finish. As a dry wine, it maintains a clean and crisp profile, making it an exemplary choice for a range of gastronomic pairings or simply to enjoy on its own. This Chardonnay captures the essence of the Carneros terroir, highlighting both the elegance and complexity that makes it truly remarkable.
