Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is another pretty, gracious wine in this range. Crushed flowers, dried cherry, chalk, mint, spice, cedar and sweet tobacco are all beautifully lifted in this lithe, sensual Pinot Noir from Tyler. The 2017 is bright and energetic, with lovely saline underpinnings that give energy, and an attractive whole cluster flourish on the close. This is an especially earthy, savory style, with more prominent stem character than is found in most of the other Pinots in this lineup.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is pale to medium ruby-purple, opening with tar, grilled meats and stone with warm black cherries and berries, citrus peel, nutmeg, dried flowers and blue fruit hints. The light to medium-bodied palate offers a good core of spicy fruits with a wonderful, granulated tannic frame, juicy freshness and a long, layered finish. 139 cases produced.
