A balanced approach between fruit and minerality. There is an earthiness balanced with white pear, bready texture and a high-toned nerviness. Rich and expansive with good acidity and a long finish.

This is a very small production wine crafted from one vineyard, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, located in Sta. Rita Hills. This is a highly allocated wine and will likely be sold out before we release it after bottling.
Juicy and concentrated on the palate, mineral-driven and pure, with and excellent finish. Overall the persistent soft tannins, balanced acidity and loads of fruit bode well for long aging of 15 to 20 years.
