JEB DUNNUCK 95+ POINTS - "Aged 16 months in 30% new French oak, the 2024 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard comes from a great site on the southern side of the Sta. Rita Hills and brings another level of purity and finesse, as well as that classic Sanford & Benedict depth and power. Framboise, wild strawberries, spring flowers, and spice all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a broad, layered mid-palate, polished, building tannins, and a great finish. I love the overall balance here. Give it 2-4 years to gain complexity and drink this beauty over the following decade or more. Drink 2028-2041."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 92 POINTS - "The 2024 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is high-toned and lifted, with delicate, floral-inflected red cherry tones accented by a toasty kiss of French oak. Layers of minerality emerge with aeration, building notes of graphite, crushed rocks and iron. The 2024 reflects a real stamp of terroir from this historic site."
