2020 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir

"This delicious expression of Pinot Noir from a historic vineyard starts with lovely black cherry, chai, mocha and red flower aromas. Plush and polished tannins wrap palate, framing bold fruit flavors of cherry, strawberry and pomegranate, with elegant waves of hibiscus, sumac and allspice leading into an edgy finish." ~ Wine Enthusiast "...a beauty, offering classic Sanford & Benedict focus, purity, and minerality. Ripe raspberries, red cherries, chalky minerality, and white flowers all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, has outstanding balance, and a great finish. The tannins here are present yet ripe and integrated, it has good acidity, and is clearly a standout. It’s going to evolve for a solid decade." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "The 2020 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a blend of three blocks off the property. It shows the brighter and more focused side of this site to great effect. Red berry fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper give this chiseled, nervy Pinot a great deal of character." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "Offers a nice sleek, ripe feel, with a cherry and damson plum core lined with red licorice and rooibos tea. The sneaky long finish reveals a subtle savory echo, which provides a nice counterpoint. Drink now through 2027." ~ Wine Spectator "This wine’s reduction inhibits its fruit character. a dark, creamy red with a sleek texture and relaxed flavors of turf, tobacco and black cherry. Cellar to let those elements knit." ~ Wine & Spirits
