Where the Wabi Sabi is earthy and austere, the Sandra is made to be rich and bright. Named for our matriarch Sandra Zahoudanis, the Cuvee Sandra pinot noir is designed to showcase more of the fruity aspects of pinot noir. We pick early to retain a good amount of natural acid in the grapes, but not so early that the strawberry and cherry notes aren’t apparent.

93 Points: The 2023 Pinot Noir Cuvée Sandra reveals a medium ruby, semi-opaque hue and offers ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with sweet spice, sappy flowers, and minty nuances. It's beautifully balanced and medium-bodied on the palate, with a supple, polished mouthfeel and silky tannins. Fermented with 3% whole cluster and aged for 14 months in 24% new French oak, this is a classic, seamless, impressive Pinot Noir from this team. Drink 2025-2032. - Jeb Dunnuck
