Vinous (94)The 2018 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection is creamy and ample, with pretty floral notes that lend complexity.

The Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Sanford Benedict 2013 is a superior offering from the artisan winemaker, Jim Clendenen. Crafted in California's Santa Barbara County, this voluptuous varietal showcases the depth of flavour that characterises the region's Pinot Noir. Employing traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques, aged 24 months in François Frères barrels, the Sanford Benedict exhibits a vivid ruby hue. The nose carries sophisticated notes of cassis and dried cherry mingled with earthy undertones. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully balanced, an amalgamation of red berry fruitiness enveloped by soft tannins and a lingering mineral finish. The producer, Au Bon Climat, renowned for their meticulous viniculture, further enhances the wine's allure. The Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Sanford Benedict 2013 is regarded by wine connoisseurs as a mesmerising exemplar of new world wine with an old world charm. |
