2022 Bennett Valley Cellars Bin 5757 Chardonnay Sonoma County

This luminous Chardonnay captures the elegance and refinement of Sonoma County’s cool-climate vineyards. Pale gold in the glass with brilliant clarity, it offers a striking first impression of freshness and depth. The aromatic profile unfolds with layers of ripe pear, Meyer lemon, and golden apple, intertwined with hints of white peach, honeysuckle, and lightly toasted brioche.

On the palate, Bin 5757 is medium-bodied with a graceful balance between richness and precision. A vibrant vein of acidity carries the citrus and orchard fruit flavors through a long, mineral-driven finish. Subtle oak aging imparts nuanced tones of vanilla bean, roasted hazelnut, and a delicate creaminess that never overwhelms the wine’s core vibrancy.

While this Chardonnay is thoroughly compelling in its youth, its structure and balance suggest it will evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years, revealing additional layers of complexity and texture as it matures.
