Description
Lafond’s Santa Ynez Valley property is in the heart of pinot noir country, with soil and microclimates exceedingly favorable to that fickle grape variety. Richard Sanford and Michael Benedict had proved that point with their stellar wines in the late 1960s. The area is also excellent locale for syrah, and McGuire convinced Lafond to plant that luscious Rhone varietal as well.
