Sandhi Wines White Buffalo Land Trust Pinot Noir 2024 Review
This Pinot Noir is made in collaboration with the White Buffalo Land Trust with grapes sourced from the Jalama Canyon Ranch Vineyard in Santa Barbara. This regeneratively farmed site is only a few miles from the ocean, and that absolutely comes through in this wine. This is a savory expression of Pinot Noir, with quiet wafts of dried herbs and cranberries. The palate is lifted and high-toned with delicate red fruit and spice notes throughout. It has a firm structure, with grippy tannins that will help the wine age beautifully over the next several years.
