Chanin Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2020 Societa Agricola La Prevostura s.s. Tannins are fully integrated andFrom a site on the other (southern) side of the appellation, the 2020 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir saw quite a bit more stems and was fermented with 40% stems and brought up in 20% new oak. It has a wonderful nose of ripe red and black currants as well as subtle woodsmoke, dried herbs, and forest floor. This carries to a pure, medium bodied, balanced Pinot Noir with ripe tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. 94 Pts Jeb
