    Slightly more fruit and body thanks to warmer climates and riper grapes

    2020 Racines "Sanford & Benedict Vineyard" Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills, CA) 3R

    Sanford & Benedict vineyard, the pinnacle of Pinot Noir in Sta. Rita Hills, uses grapes from three parcels, including some own-rooted vines from 1971. This Pinot Noir features intense floral aromas with hints of frankincense, leather, and smoke. The palate offers generous fruit balanced by savory notes from whole clusters, with flavors of crushed basalt, thyme, and wild sumac surrounding blue and red fruits. Clove, star anise, and a touch of cassia bark enhance its long, lingering finish.
