Historical vintage for a Central Coast Pinot Noir pioneer. First vintage. Winery planted vines in 1971. This bottle: 1.5cm ullage, 12.1% alc A fantastic example of early Pinot Noir clones used in Santa Ynez/SB County. Wine is still lively, beautiful color. Aromas and Flavors not maderized at all. Great balance and a touch spicy. What a pleasurable education for me. I've never come across it before in 20yrs

Lovely unicorn bottle. The 1976 Sanford and Benedict is one of their earliest bottling, and reminds me of an old Kyoto ryokan—Smokey with savory umami notes of nori & shiitake and a surprising amount of fruit for a 45+ year old bottle. Such a treat,

Amber edges. A touch of Va- iron, a whiff of Madeira. Amazing fruit given the age and the age of the vines (3 years then). Deep cherry and underbrush. A dark gnarly quality... a touch of aged Rhone in character. The first wine made at S&B and not a commercial release. Holding up really well. A real treat
