The 2022 Bench Chardonnay presents a rich and complex flavor profile, prominently featuring oaky characteristics with notable notes of butter and oak. This wine embodies the quintessential aromas typical of Russian River Valley Chardonnays, which often include ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear, tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, citrus notes including lemon and orange zest, floral hints, and vanilla with toasted nuts derived from oak aging.
