Product Details

Sanford's California Pinot Noir greets you with a fragrant bouquet of ripe raspberry, black cherry and a whisper of violet, lifted by baking spice and a damp forest-floor note; on the palate it's silkier than you'd expect, with velvety texture, supple tannins, bright acidity and a core of red fruit that slides into savory herb and a subtle cocoa-and-cola finish. I love how the mouthfeel feels plush but focused, inviting another sip, while a gentle oak thread adds warmth without masking the fruit and the finish lingers with minerally tension that hints at cool coastal vineyards. This is an unfussy, food-friendly Pinot—think grilled lamb or peppered steak, charred appetizers, or a plate of soft cheeses with fig jam—yet it stands happily on its own when you just want to relax. Pour lightly chilled if the room is warm and give it 15–20 minutes to open and reveal mid-palate spice and juicy red fruit.

Perfect Pairings: Grilled lamb, charred appetizers, and a plate of soft cheeses.
