Sandhi's 2017 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is beautifully layered and nuanced. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, mint and white pepper all grace this exquisite Pinot. The 2017 is wonderfully deep, fleshy and nuanced. Moreover, the 2017 is a terrific rendition of S&B. -- Antonio Galloni

93+ The 2017 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict is pale to medium ruby and slowly reveals spiced cranberry, crushed raspberry, orange peel, tree bark and amaro hints with savory notions of peppered meats, dried rose petals, dusty earth and restrained red berries at the core. The palate is light to medium-bodied with bright fruits, granulated tannins and seamless acidity, finishing very long and spicy. 184 cases were made. - EB

Quite light in the glass, this bottling by Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman explores the green and deeply savory side of Pinot Noir. Aromas of green peppercorns, freshly plucked green sage and tart raspberry lead into a palate awash with wild chaparral herbs and underripe red-fruit flavors, finishing on lingering tea notes. Some will love it, many will be perplexed by it. MATT KETTMANN
