Aromatically this wine is red fruit-driven, with spiced cherries and rhubarb. On the palate, this wine follows those red fruit flavors, as well as notes of ginger root, strawberries, and a youthful kick of acidity. Beautifully showcasing the reserved and regal qualities of the vineyard, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is derived from the vineyard's original 1971 plantings. It slowly unfurls with aromas of red and black cherries, orange peel, bergamot and white pepper, beginning with a whisper and continuously escalating in volume and dimension. The palate is rich and velvety, melding a sumptuous, savory core with vibrant, pure framing of acidity. It concludes with a measured, perfectly balanced finish that lingers with citrus notes, salinity and retronasal perfume. Sourced from the own-rooted blocks planted in 1971, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is vividly expressive and elegant. Light in color but surprisingly focused and concentrated, it offers clear, velvety fruit layered with lavender, spice and blood orange tones that unfurl gracefully across the palate. The 2023 speaks softly but has a lot to say.
