In Santa Barbara wine country, it all started with Sanford. In 1971 Sanford Winery and Vineyards discovered an overlooked, grape-growing treasure in the Santa Rita Hills. Recognizing a magical combination of climate and soil conditions much like those in France's famed Burgundy province, Sanford planted the area's first Pinot Noir in its Sanford & Benedict vineyard.

Winemaker Steve Fennell
|
After studying enology at the University of California Davis, he began his career as an assistant winemaker at Trefethen Vineyards, where he honed his skills helping to improve fruit quality, managing the cellar and making blends. From 1999 to the present, Steve was at Voss vineyards as head winemaker. His attention in the vineyards produced a range of innovative and highly acclaimed wines, from an Australian-styled Syrah to a distinctive and bold Sauvignon Blanc that earned raves for four consecutive vintages. "I bring an integrated approach that draws on my expertise in the vineyard as well as in winemaking," said Fennell. "For me, it's about treating the soil with respect, achieving consistent and high-quality grapes and crafting elegant, fruit-forward wines that are the finest expression of the Santa Rita Hills." Fennell works under Doug Fletcher, Vice President of Winemaking of Terlato Wine Group, who oversees the family-owned Chimney Rock, Rutherford Hill, Alderbrook, and Terlato Vineyards wineries. Fletcher believes Fennell brings an indispensable gift to crafting the wines that made Sanford famous. "Everyone wants to make Pinot Noir, but to make a great one you have to have an impeccable palate," said Fletcher. "Steve has one of the best in the industry, and I enjoy collaborating with him on making the most challenging of varietals." |
