Sanford & Benedict is where California Pinot Noir grew up. Richard Sanford and botanist Michael Benedict planted these vines in 1971 in a remote, fog-cooled stretch of Santa Barbara County, and the wines that followed helped prove cool-climate Pinot could thrive here — the vineyard became the backbone of what is now the Sta. Rita Hills AVA and supplied cuttings to countless neighbors. Today Sanford Winery farms the historic, now-reunited estate organically. The 2022 is a current release: a serious, site-driven Pinot Noir from one of the West Coast's most storied vineyards. History you can actually drink.

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is sublime. Floral and savory overtones meld into a core of red/purplish fruit. This is such a sensual wine. Some of the other wines in this range are more overt, more obvious, but when it comes to balance and overall harmony, the S&B Pinot clearly has an added kick of finesse. It is one of the very best wines of this very challenging harvest."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a beautiful cross-section of the vineyard, including around one-third of the original plantings. It leads with a quintessential nose of black cherries, dark dried spices, citrus peels and sous-bois that is both poised and energetic. The palate is silky and lifted while supported with a robust power that extends through the rich, fragrant, focused finish. In contrast to the more punchy single-block bottlings, this exudes a lovely, even-keeled nature." —Matthew Luczy
