Deovlet, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir

Deovlet, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot NoirThe 2021 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard has slowly unfurling scents of pomegranate, strawberry, aniseed, tea and tobacco leaves, plus loads of spicy and floral nuances.

It will benefit from 2 3+ years in bottle to unwind. 152 cases were made.
