Sierra Madre Vineyard

2012 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Blanc

The Sanford Direct Sierra Madre Vineyard Pinot Blanc from the 2012 vintage is a delightful expression of the Santa Maria Valley’s unique terroir. This white wine showcases a medium body that is both refreshing and vibrant, making it an excellent choice for a variety of occasions. It possesses a high level of acidity that brightens the palate, providing a crisp and mouthwatering finish. The fruit intensity is prominent, with notes of green apples and stone fruit that dance harmoniously on the tongue. This wine is bone dry, allowing the pure fruit character to shine without any cloying sweetness. Overall, this Pinot Blanc is a food-friendly option that pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, salads, or simply enjoyed on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
