Arista Chardonnay Banfield

From Sonoma County

Vintage: 2021
Winery: Arista Winery
Description: 97 Points | JS “The brightness and fresh herbs, such as parsley and lemongrass, come out nicely. Some flint. It's full-bodied with a lovely density. It has plenty of ripe green apple, lemon-lime and brioche flavors. So pure and beautiful. From 50-year-old Wente clones. Very delicious now but will age beautifully. Drink now or hold.” - James Suckling 96 Points | Jd “From Old Wente planted in 1980 on Axr rootstock, the 2021 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard comes from one of the later sites picked by the estate. Bright straw-colored with a tinge of green, it boasts a rounded bouquet with aromas of fresh peach, melon rind, preserved citrus, and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it expands through the palate with lovely length and great intensity throughout, without being heavy in any way. It has real structure for aging, but in this vintage, it shows a good deal of freshness in its notes of lime on the palate. Drink 2025-2035.” - Jeb Dunnuck
