A journey worth taking. Sourced from the revered Bentrock Vineyard—where limestone-rich soils and Pacific-cooled breezes shape world-class Chardonnay—this Sta. Rita Hills gem is a study in precision and purity. Taut and racy, yet beautifully textured, it opens with aromas of pencil lead, melon, and marzipan before unfurling into layers of stone fruit and honeydew. A whisper of new oak lets the vineyard do the talking, delivering a crisp, mineral-driven finish that lingers. Don't miss your chance to experience this stunning Chardonnay—get yours today!

Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay is bright, focused and bristling with energy. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, white pepper and slate convey tons of Bentrock essence. The 2022 shows terrific freshness and verve. This tense, brilliant Chardonnay is impeccably done.

James Suckling

So racy, acid-driven and linear, with citrus, green apple, mineral and flint aromas on a tangy, almost electric texture. It’s refreshing, energizing, concentrated and fresh. Powerful and full-bodied enough to drink with a steak, yet elegant and fresh. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate

Made in a combination of concrete eggs and French oak, the 2022 Mon Trajet Chardonnay Bentrock Vineyard boasts unvarnished fruit aromas of apple, pear and mixed citrus. In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied, plump and rounded, then eases into pineapple and honey notes on the lingering finish.
