One Chardonnay that should evolve and last for 7-10 years, is Au Bon Climat's 1991 Reserve Chardonnay from the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Potentially, this may turn out to be the finest of all ABC's Chardonnays, but at present it is the most backward. A nose of cinnamon, minerals, and spices is just beginning to emerge. Tightly knit, with huge reserves of fruit and a mouthfilling, viscous texture, this large-framed, chewy Chardonnay should improve for at least 3-5 years and last for up to a decade - a rarity! However, you will not be able to find it at your local Mom and Pop liquor store as only 250 cases were produced.The fast-talking, super-enthusiastic Jim Clendenen is fashioning some of the most dazzling wines in California. The 1991 Reserve Chardonnay from the Bien Nacido Vineyard and the 1991 Reserve Chardonnay from the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard are two extraordinary Chardonnays. These two offerings are not only richer than the other ABC Chardonnays, they offer more complexity in addition to exceptional personalities.
