Chanin Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard 2017
Red
Santa Rita Hills, United States
7.0
WineSaint
Classic Sanford & Benedict minerality anchors this refined expression. Red cherry, violet and earth tones unfold with appealing restraint. The palate shows elegance but feels somewhat light for this storied vineyard, missing the concentration and grip that elevate the site's best bottlings. Oak feels prominent against the delicate fruit.
