Our history with Sanford & Benedict Vineyard goes back to 1985! It has always been our most special source, and we believe it is one of the best sites for Pinot Noir in all of California. Last year we hosted a 40th anniversary party for the vineyard, and we looked back at 30 vintages from the vineyard. The wines showed wonderfully, many of them were spectacular, cementing our opinion of the specialness of this vineyard. Dark and brooding, showing hints of black fruit, mushrooms, and spice. This one is early in its maturity cycle, to open it now is like opening up the hope chest. Our hopes and expectations are that this will show well early, and continue to develop over many years.
