Sanford 2013 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
From the producer's iconic and historic vineyard comes this classic bottling, with red cherries, crushed brick, anise, tart plum skin, candied rose water and even a touch of tobacco on the nose. It's crisp and fresh on the sip, where more flavors of red cherry and anise meet with thyme and bay leaf. Matt Kettmann
