title: Sanford 2013 La Rinconada Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Violet, lavender, mulberry, black cherry, cola, graphite and a touch of sarsaparilla lead the nose on this bottling from this vineyard planted in 1997. Tart cranberry, pencil lead, dried orange rind, bay leaf, fennel and bay leaf all show on the palate, which is tremendously grippy and offers strong depth way into the finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: La Rinconada Vineyard
