Sanford 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills

"Medium ruby-hued with sweet raspberry and strawberry fruit, the appellation 2022 Pinot Noir is medium-bodied and charming, with a soft, supple mouthfeel, light tannins, and some classic spicy herb and floral notes. It's a charming, balanced, satisfying Pinot Noir with lots to love. Coming from a mix of La Rinconada and Sanford & Benedict vineyards, this is mostly from younger estate vines and spent 11 months in 27% new French oak." Jeb Dunnick 91 Points "A selection of young vines from La Rinconada and Sanford & Benedict, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills leads with composed red cherry, rhubarb and spice box aromas. The palate is pure, fresh and well-balanced, leading to a straightforward, understated finish that beautifully summarizes the two stellar vineyard sites it hails from." Robert Parker 90 Points
