2019 Sanford Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 375ML The palate delivers rich berry flavors balanced nicely by acid and tannin structure. Aroma Notes: Bursting with red and black fruits like raspberry and black cherry, along with savory notes of cola, white pepper and sage.
The entry level Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills comes from a mix of the Rinconada and Sanford & Benedict vineyards and spent 11 months in 27% new French oak. This ruby-hued effort gives up a gorgeous perfume of ripe raspberry and strawberry fruits as well as white flowers, spice, and a touch of chalky, mineral-like nuances. Medium-bodied, seamless, and balanced on the palate, it’s just a flat-out beautiful expression of Sta.
Ripe and juicy but restrained in style, with the core of black cherry and raspberry notes taking equal turns with dried anise, red and black tea and chaparral hints. Keeps a juicy edge through the finish, with a smoldering intensity.
