A beautiful dark ruby in color, the 2013 Sanford and Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir immediately gives note of the signature earthy aromas of dried flowers and roasted herbs that are represented by fragrances of deep plum, raspberry and a touch of star anise. Once in the mouth, the wine's seamless texture shows the integration that comes with bottle aging. Medium bodied, the flavors of spicy plum, cranberry and rich cherry pie intermingle nicely with a touch clove and tobacco on the. The refreshing acidity of the wine is a major part of the lingering finish.
