The Tyler Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir: A New World Classic with Burgundian Soul

Crafted by Justin Willett, the Tyler Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir is rightly considered one of the finest expressions of Californian Pinot Noir. This single-vineyard bottling is drawn from the historic 1971 plantings of the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, a hallowed site within the cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills AVA, yielding a wine of structure, nuance, and remarkable longevity.

Tasting Notes & Profile

Colour: A luminous, pale ruby.
Nose: Intricately layered, featuring bright red cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate, with savoury complexity from underbrush, tobacco leaf, and a hint of exotic spice.
Palate: Medium-bodied, focused, and beautifully structured. It boasts a silky mouthfeel, crisp acidity, and a fine-grained tannic grip, leading to a profound, mineral-driven core.
Finish: Exceptionally long and graceful, a hallmark of its pedigree.

Pairing & Service

This wine is built for the cellar (10-15 years potential) but is sublime now. Decant briefly and serve at a cool room temperature (15-16°C). It is the perfect accompaniment to traditional game and earthy British fare.
