Sierra Madre Vineyard

2013 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Blanc

The Sanford Select Sierra Madre Vineyard Pinot Blanc from the 2013 vintage is a delightful white wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Santa Maria Valley. This wine is medium-bodied with a vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, creating a refreshing and invigorating experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with lovely notes of crisp green apple, citrus zest, and hints of stone fruit that add complexity and allure. Its dryness enhances its appeal, making it an exceptional choice for various food pairings, from light seafood dishes to creamy pasta. The subtlety of tannins allows the wine to maintain its elegance, making it a truly enjoyable and versatile option for wine enthusiasts.

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.
