Sanford & Benedict is one of the most historic vineyards in Southern California. Planted in 1971 to mostly Pinot Noir and 50 acres of Chardonnay. This site is one of the crown jewels within the Santa Rita Hills AVA
Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts are two of the most dynamic, young winemakers in California leading the charge for site specific wines with balance and integrity
Vineyard sources range from the Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mtns, Napa Valley and Moon Mtn AVA’s
They produce a variety of wines from Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, Trousseau and Gamay. As well as limited amounts of Ribolla Gialla, Rose, Zinfandel and an Old Vine White
Production methods are firmly planted in the “old world” with generous use of whole clusters, natural fermentations, very limited use of new oak (only in Cabernet) and modest alcohol levels
