Racines 2019 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict   

 

2019 Racines Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Santa Rita Hills

 

Vinous
94 Points

The 2019 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is a powerful, brooding wine. The high percentage of stems (75%) undoubtedly adds savory intensity, but it also masks some site character. The 2019 is a gorgeous wine, but it is also austere and not an especially typical expression of this site. I hope to have a chance to taste it in a decade.  Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Vineyards:

A combination of three parcels throughout the famous Sanford & Benedict vineyard. Two of the plantings are 10-12 years old, but certainly responsible for the dark, deep core of this wine. The third piece, a small fermentation of the original, own-rooted plantings from 1971, brings the elegance and floral lift.

Barrel Aging:

19 months - 30% new French oak

Cases Produced:

936 Cases

Alcohol:
