"The deep ruby-colored 2016 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard comes from one of the reference point vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills and spent 15 months in 20% new French oak. Ripe black cherries, mulberries, underbrush, and forest floor notes flow to a juicy, nicely concentrated, balanced effort that has nicely integrated acidity as well as sweet tannins. It picks up more floral notes with time in the glass . . ."
