2006 Sanford Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $40.
·
Restrained scents
of black cherries, smoke, minerals and a hint of alcohol. Plentiful, dirt-crusted cherry and black raspberry fruits
embrace the palate. A peculiar chemical taste and a bit of bitterness on the finish ruin the experience.
Disappointing considering the pedigree of this vineyard.

14.3% alc., $60.

Dark garnet in color. Forest floor and oak frame the
darker Pinot fruits on the nose and on the deep palate. This is a wine with an earthy
edge and is muscular but not harsh. The finish is lingering.
