Sanford Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

The 2022 Sta. Rita Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir by Sanford Winery is a 100% Pinot Noir from the renowned Sta. Rita Hills AVA in California. This wine is estate-grown, a significant aspect of Sanford Winery's identity. The winery itself is a pioneer in the region, with a history dating back to the establishment of the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard in 1971, which contributes fruit to this bottling. The Sta. Rita Hills appellation is known for its cool maritime climate, influenced by ocean breezes and fog, which is ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir. The 2022 vintage experienced a relatively dry and moderate growing season, leading to an earlier harvest and wines noted for their precision and focus.
