Chanin Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, USA 2021
There’s always tension in the best of Gavin Chanin’s pinot noirs, the fruit unabashedly Californian in its breadth and generosity, tamed by a sense of the wind and fog glancing off Bien Nacido’s slopes. This wine has an angular earthiness revealed when a cool climate pinot is harvested at the exact right time. It carries its sense of place in its texture, a humus-like savor and mineral firmness. The dark-cherry flavors are reticent, dusty and fine, with a saturation that contributes to the wine’s exceptional length.
