2019 Chanin Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard Santa Barbara County

"Translucent ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard, from the warmer, sandy Los Alamos region, was mostly destemmed (15% stems) and spent 18 months in 15% new barrels. A wonderful perfume of mulled cherries, baking spices, dried herbs, flowers, and forest floor gives way to a medium-bodied, ethereally styled, balanced, graceful Pinot Noir with light tannins and a great finish. It's all about finesse and elegance, and it's a beautiful, seamless Pinot Noir." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: August 2021
