The 2010 growing season in Napa Valley can be described in one word: uneven. A cooler and wetter summer delayed harvest, and an August heat wave drove temperatures from the temperate 70's to a scorching 110°F or higher in some areas. To cap off the irregular nature of the vintage, unexpected heavy rains blanketed the valley in late October. The Chardonnay grapes were largely protected from the excessive rainfall because they were harvested prior to the unusual downpour.

Our 2010 Bench Blend Chardonnay displays complex aromas of ripe tree fruit and baked apple, supported by notes of toasty oak and caramel. This full-bodied wine offers layers of brown spice with a rich mouthfeel and a lingering finish.
