This lovely Pinot Noir from Sandhi is sourced from a number of different vineyards across the Santa Rita Hills, with more than 50 percent of the fruit coming from 40+ year old vines. The nose is full with aromas of freshly crushed wild cherries, hazelnut, scorched earth, herbs, mushroom, thyme and rose pedal. This impresses for its purity of fruit as well as firm structure that ends with a long and vibrant finish. It should please both new and old-world fans and is a fantastic entry into the Sandhi portfolio. (Best 2014-2023) - April, 2014 (MD)
