Pinot Noir- Sanford and Benedict Vineyard - The Twelve Rows 2018 75cl

The 2018 Pinot Noir Sanford and Benedict Vineyard The Twelve Rows is sourced from Block T6, which was planted in 1995. It was done with very gentle extractions, the fruit crushed by foot, with native ferments, after which it spent 16-18 months in barrel, all Chassin, 1/3rd new. Bright red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, rose petal and spice are all laced together in a very pretty Pinot Noir that shows the more transparent side of Sanford and Benedict off to great effect. Whole clusters add pretty top notes without being overly intrusive. This is such a classy wine, and an impressive debut.
