2023 The Hilt Bentrock Vineyard Chardonnay

Spring 2026 Release

Earthy, herbal, spice-driven and full of stone fruit. Early season nectarine, truffle honey and golden Russett apple. This has the consistent power and density that is a hallmark of this hallowed vineyard. Honeysuckle and white peach. Juicy Anjou pear alongside a savory and chalky structural backbone. Gunflint and a touch of vanilla bean alongside lifted jasmine and chervil. Packed with energy and still very early in development. Perhaps the most inward and age worthy Bentrock to date. Unfurls slowly in the glass giving glimpses of its future potential. The texture and silky sensuality of this wine become very clear on days 2 and 3. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
