Sanford Winery La Rinconada Pinot Noir (2019)

Sanford Winery & Vineyard is one of the foundational names in California’s Sta. Rita Hills, widely recognized for establishing the region’s reputation for world‑class, cool‑climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It remains a benchmark estate whose identity is inseparable from the land it helped define.

La Rinconada is the sister vineyard to our neighboring iconic Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. La Rinconada shares a similar Monterey Shale soil composition as S&B while also possessing blocks of alluvial soil accumulated over many thousands of years. This La Rinconada single vineyard wine is selected from individual barrels of our highest quality La Rinconada blocks. Our hillside grown Dijon clones 777, 667, 115 and Mt. Eden selection east of our winery provide the incredible structure, intensity and complexity within this wine.
