Walk among this historic vineyard and on the outskirts of the vines you’ll find a fresh water cistern nestled in the hillside. Just another reminder of how special the Sanford & Benedict vineyard is to the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. The location of the vineyard is quite unique, located just 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean. It allows for a Burgundian style of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to be made from what many people commonly believe to be a warm climate. Have you tried our Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay or Pinot Noir?
