Sanford Winery is a renowned pioneer of cool-climate wine from the Santa Rita Hills, north of Santa Barbera. The legendary Sanford & Benedict vineyard was planted in 1971 by Richard Sanford and Michael Benedict, and from the very first vintages they produced highly acclaimed wines of great complexity. The vineyards and winery are certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. Bright aromas of fresh cherry, wild strawberry and spice cake are complemented by white pepper and rose. Supple, serious and wonderfully fresh on the palate with beautiful length on the finish.
