Overview
The 2016 Sanford Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from our two estate vineyards: the historic Sanford and Benedict Vineyard and La Rinconada. Both of these stellar vineyards are in the heart of the Sta. Rita Hills. On the nose, this wine bursts with earthy raspberry and orange peel, along with savory notes of anise and white pepper. The palate delivers dense dusty, berry flavors with lively acid and tannin structure, which carries on with a long and lovely finish.
