Sanford Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Sanford Winery planted some of the first Pinot Noir in Santa Barbara County in 1971, and the estate is home to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the county. Today it is owned by the Terlato family and draws on two estate properties, the Sanford and Benedict Vineyard and La Rinconada Ranch, in the cool, ocean-influenced Santa Rita Hills. Fruit is handpicked and sorted, then fermented with native yeasts, with about a third of the fruit fermented as whole clusters. The wine ages around 10 months in French oak. Bottled at 13.5% alcohol, it shows raspberry and cherry with cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose. The palate brings black cherry, kirsch and pomegranate with an earthy streak, and a finish marked by black tea, warm slate and iris. Acidity is bright and the tannins are supple, giving the wine tension and length. It is a classic Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir with the structure to keep for several years. Pair it with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or herbed pork tenderloin. 750ml bottle. Vintages may vary; we ship the current release.
