Graham Tatomer made his name with Santa Barbara Riesling — apprenticing in the Wachau with Emmerich Knoll, then bringing that Austrian precision home to Sta. Rita Hills. The Pinot Noir from Sanford & Benedict is a more recent and pointed addition. S&B is the historic vineyard that put cool-climate California Pinot on the map, planted in 1971 on its own roots in Botella clay loam shot through with chert and shale. Tatomer farms a small block here — Clone 777, hand-harvested, native yeast, 50% whole cluster, aged in once-used French oak — with the same restraint he brings to his whites. The result is delicate and ethereal: citrus peel, dried herbs, weightless intensity. Just 120 cases.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is light and tart, leaning into the crunchy red-fruited end of the spectrum. Cranberry and rhubarb open first then delve into layers of tobacco, lavender and anise. Lightness of touch and ethereal textures make this feel very delicate, but it's not short on expressiveness." —Billy Norris

Robert Parker

"The most complete of the Pinot Noirs is the 2023 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, which opens with a textbook, savory-leaning bouquet of citrus peels, dried herbs, turned earth and pipe tobacco, with a marine-driven undercurrent. The palate beautifully captures the understated, even-keeled power of the site, with a silky, spiced richness that culminates in a vibrant, delineated and elegantly structured finish." —Matthew Luczy

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Seared duck breast, roast salmon with herbs, mushroom risotto, or a simple roast chicken. The savory bent makes it a good match for charcuterie and aged cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Citrus peel, dried herbs, moss and red berries with a marine-driven undercurrent. Light to medium-bodied, weightless and clear, with fine, grainy tannins and a delicate, lifted finish.
