2018 Founders' Vines Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills

THE STORY
It all started with a pioneering vision to grow Pinot Noir in a remote coastal region of California that was long considered far too cool to ripen grapes. Fortunately, the founders, Michael Benedict and Richard Sanford had determination and perseverance in establishing the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard in 1971. As the stewards of this iconic property, we have tremendous respect for what these partners accomplished, and from one of the original, own-rooted, plantings of Pinot Noir, we are privileged to share the 2018 Founders’ Vines Pinot Noir.
