2017 Chanin Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard Santa Barbara County

"Slightly lighter colored, the 2017 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard comes from sandy soils and was 80% destemmed and brought up in 10% new French oak. Beautiful rose petal and spring flower notes as well as hints of sweet strawberry and cherry all flow to an ethereal, medium-bodied, silky Pinot Noir that has ultra-fine tannins, perfect balance, and a beautiful finish. It's a fabulous effort that relies more on finesse, elegance, and purity than power and richness." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: October 2019
