Ruby with berry fruit aromas and herb scents. On the palate cherry and cranberry flavors with earthy notes and floral spice. Good balance, soft texture on lingering finish ending with earthy tones.

Both Pinots are fresh, light-to-medium weight and extremely red-fruit driven, with lots of cherry and strawberry. The S&B has a bit more of a savory and herbal aspect

Cherries and raspberries. But some after taste and over the hill smell.

The 2012 has a aromatic aroma that started off with lots of ripe fruits, rich cherries and spices were prevalent. The aromas extend into your mouth with dark cherries, pepper and spices and something that reminded me of cardamom. The tannins and acids are well balanced enhancing its smooth long finish. This is not a bland Pinot. #sanford #pinotnoir #santaritahills #centralcoast
