With its restrained use of new oak and a focus on purity rather than manipulation, it captures both the elegance of the site and the precision of Gavin Chanin’s winemaking. Sanford \u0026amp; Benedict is a historic vineyard, and in this vintage it delivers a Pinot Noir that feels deeply authentic and remarkably complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a vibrant ruby-red color with plenty of brightness and finesse. The nose opens with blackberry, cherry, rose petals, black tea, lavender, and a subtle hint of cinnamon, creating an aromatic profile that is both floral and spicy. \n\nOn the palate, red cherry leads the way, followed by cranberry, plum, crushed currants, mint, and nuanced spice. The wine is lifted by fresh acidity and carried through to a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects the vineyard’s limestone influence. It is already impressive now, but it also has the structure and balance to age gracefully for around 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSanford \u0026amp; Benedict Vineyard benefits from a cool-growing climate and limestone-rich soils, conditions that are particularly well suited to high-quality Pinot Noir. The vines are approximately 50 years old, lending depth and concentration to the fruit. In 2021, the wine was aged with 15% new oak and no stem inclusion, allowing the vineyard character to remain front and center while preserving clarity, texture, and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken, or dishes featuring earthy vegetables and light game. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 16–18°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is optional, but a short decant of 20–30 minutes can help the wine खुल up if enjoyed young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChanin Wine Company, founded by Gavin Chanin, has built a strong reputation for making site-driven wines that reflect the individuality of California’s best vineyards.
