Wet stone and lemon pith drive this precise expression of Sanford & Benedict's signature salinity. The oak sits quietly beneath bright citrus, allowing the vineyard's mineral backbone to shine through. Good depth and clean lines, though it feels like this historic site has more to give. Should develop nicely over the next few years.
