Racines Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

The 2018 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is just stunning. Bright, translucent and exquisitely layered, the Sanford & Benedict is magical. All the elements come together in the glass. The purity of the flavors is striking, but everything about the 2018 works. Sweet red berry fruit, mint, spice, blood orange and rose petal all develop with a bit of air, but more than anything else, it is the wine’s balance that is so compelling. Drinking window: 2022-2033. Score – 95. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Aug. 2020)
