Touch of sous bois, but largely desiccated / candied fruit. Not getting better.

Fall in a glass! Very earthy and spicy. At a really nice point on its arch.

A confident depth of strawberry, straw and flowers. Delicate power of length and freshness. Certainly settling well but still has more years to develop yet.

Maker’s dinner with Sashi Moorman. Tart cherries with some whole cluster spice and a hint of salinity.

2012 Sandhi Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir from one of the oldest plantings in the Santa Rita Hills (1971). Youthful, lovely fruit purity and freshness, highlighting the vineyards cool micro climate. This wine speaks the language of the vineyard. Old world wine style made in the New World. This will age gracefully, but already delicious! Only 600 x 6-Packs produced, partnership between Charles Banks (Ex-Screaming Eagle and Sommelier Rajat Parr, winemaker Sashi Moorman) available in Thailand through wine garage.
