' Wow! New Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir

 


SPECIAL NEW RELEASE

2015 SANFORD & BENEDICT VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
Our first release from this iconic vineyard in a decade! Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is the birthplace of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation and inspired Ken to devote his career to unlocking the potential of Santa Barbara County. The vineyard was planted by Richard Sanford and Michael Benedict in 1971. About 57% of this Pinot Noir hails from vines replanted in 2008 to the highly regarded clone 943. The balance is from a nearby block of clone 2A replanted in 2011. Clone 943 clearly shows its seductive character in the wine with hints of pancetta and dark plum with subtle notes of brown spice, stone and earth. The 2A clone provides an exquisite counterpoint with pure dark raspberry aromas along with complementary floral components interwoven into the wine’s core. The opulent texture is beautifully balanced by a gentle thread of acidity and supportive tannins, ensuring graceful aging for years to come.  Only 154 cases made.
