The 2009 Pinot Noir Sanford and Benedict shows a bit more overt depth and freshness than the Rosemary’s, in part because of the use of fully destemmed fruit. Juicy dark cherries, flowers, spices and licorice are some of the many notes that flesh out in this radiant, supple Pinot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
