Tasting notes

“A light, brisk-edged style, with pomegranate and blood orange fruit taking the lead, backed by rooibos tea and a nervy mineral edge through the sneaky long finish.” James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

“More savory red fruits, sour cherry, dried herbs, underbrush, and spicy notes emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir MT Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, classic Pinot Noir from this site that has rip tannins, good overall balance, and outstanding length. It’s a classy, complex Pinot Noir to drink over the coming 5-7 years or so.  Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com

“This is also quite lightly hued while offering slightly better aromatic layering on the more deeply pitched nose of plum, violet and a similar hint of crushed anise. There is better volume to the succulent and generously proportioned flavors that possess a lush mouthfeel that contrasts somewhat with the youthfully austere finale that offers better depth and a bit better length as well.  Allen Meadow’s Burghound

“Lightly colored in the glass, this bottling offers savory notes of mesquite-smoked meat, dank herb and strawberry on the nose. The palate is smokey as well, with hickory and charred strawberry leading into a salty, jerky-like finish.” M.K., Wine Enthusiast

Sanford & Benedict Vineyard

Named one of the five most important and iconic vineyards in California by Wine Enthusiast, the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is renowned for both its historical significance and the continued quality of the fruit it produces. First planted in 1971, this vineyard is home to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Santa Barbara County.  Today, within this vineyard we still farm 51 acres of vines from the original planting. Another unique aspect of these original plantings is that they were planted on their own root stock (vitis vinifera) and these “own rooted” vines have flourished for more than 45 years.   

This vineyard is blessed with calcium rich clay loam soils with a lot of fractured shale and chert- a result of the sloughing off of the top half of this mountain over 1million years ago. Primarily planted to Pinot Noir, the Sanford & Benedict vineyard features more than 20 individual blocks and 11 different clones.
