Vinous 96 – the top Deovlet wine and top Sanford & Benedict rating ever for Vinous. (As I often remind customers, a 96 from Vinous actually means something. This is higher, for instance, than they scored Rousseau’s great 2018 Chambertin, which will set you back $3500, IF you can find it):
The 2018 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a dark, potent wine. Black cherry, scorched earth, gravel, dried flowers and licorice give the 2018 a distinctly sepia-toned personality. A wine of substance and pure power, the Sanford & Benedict Pinot is absolutely magnificent. Don't miss it.
