My first true/near pobega of the season. I always look forward to new bottlings from those I know well. Sandler has done it again.

2017 Sandler Wine Company Pinot Noir Cortada Alta Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands (3/30/2019)
The color is electric ruby: vibrant and near glowing. Nose of sweet red berry fruit with strawberries leading the way. The palate shows amazing deftness that Sandler Pinots have been known for. Soft undertoned & plushy red berries rule the day. Hard to believe these were just bottled last month. A true testament of the artistry applied by human hand. I am trying real hard to find commonality with any of the prior 50 or so bottles of Sandler Pinot I have sampled but can find none whatsoever. This is a unique addition to the lineup. The fruits hold on boldly for a long time and yet, this is not a bold wine. Amazing. So much in this and if you own some I would consider you one lucky pinotphile. (94 pts.)
