Description

Sanford & Benedict is really the vineyard that started it all in Santa Barbara County. Starting with the 2015 vintage we were fortunate to secure several tons of Pinot Noir grapes from one of the most historically significant vineyards in all of California.

Originally planted in 1971, this mature vineyard yields a wine that is beautifully structured while also retaining the finesse and elegance we love in Pinot Noir.

Wine Critic Reviews
"Pure framboise, red currants, crushed stone, white flowers, and spicy nuances all define the aromatics of the 2022 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, a wonderfully pure, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has the classic purity, precision, and focus of this remarkable site. I love it today yet see no reason it shouldn’t evolve gracefully over the coming decade." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "A juicy and open-knit crowd-pleaser, with raspberry and kirsch notes backed by red licorice and anise accents on the friendly, toasty finish. Drink now through 2030." ~ Wine Spectator "terrific. Bright, perfumed and inviting, the S&B has so much to offer. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, rose petal and lavender are beautifully laced together. A dollop of whole clusters (20%) adds aromatic breadth..." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
