Acid forward, oily texture, high toned citrus. Greens herbs and spices coming in a the end. Day 2 - going strong. Precise and intentional. — 5 years ago
Direct from winery and suggested by them. More fruit forward style than I have experienced at Chanin but that’s absolutely not a problem!! This wine was peaking and reassured me that Chanin wines have a long long way to go and you will he rewarded. Another steal, don’t tell anyone but tell everyone kind of wine. Ripe cherries, earth, saline and soy saucey savoriness which seems to be a common characteristic in his wines. Wow — 5 years ago
A little hot and inky for my taste. Perhaps needs more time in bottle but my preferences have moved away from this style. Quality fruits and structure, though. Just not for me — 4 years ago
Beautiful color and ripe fruits. Plush texture and good body. Finished with spice and freshness from the well judged acidity. Can be had on its own and paired well with a summer grain salad - can easily stand up to a variety of dishes and will age well in the near term I would think. Delicious. — 5 years ago
Crisp. Linear. Refreshing. Good value. Incorrect tag. This is the NV Sparkling. — 5 years ago
Flowers abound. Loved this. A more fleurie esque morgon. The whole meal operated with aromatics-forward sauces and this wine paired great. Higher toned fruits and a clean long finish — 5 years ago
Really opened up after an hour. Very fresh and fruit still primary. Chiseled. Tannins still there but not overwhelming. Restrained dark purple fruits. Lead leather and minty fresh — 5 years ago
This is the Sans soufre version. Pure red and purple fruits. Touch of earth and bramble rounding things out. Lovely open knit style but all intentional. Delicious. What a wine. Can’t wait to have it again. A benchmark. — 5 years ago
Ripe and in-check fruits. Freshness all around. What you would expect from CA-grown rose. Incredible aromatics. Delicious with a saline streak hiding beneath — 5 years ago

Fruit explosion. Pure pure fruits. Rosy florals and earth in the background. Really aromatic. Palette confirms fruit. Round but not heavy. — 4 years ago
