Such a killer bottle of Pinot Noir. Had this one on the shelf for a little while. 2013 Chanin Los Alamos Vineyard Pinot. Raspberry and red currant and cedar and orange peel, all electric with acidity and dusty with dried sage and other herbs. Outstanding. And while I appreciate all of Gavin’s labels, this one is particularly nice.

Really nice pinot noir. Not outstanding but nothing to complain about either. Characteristic Santa Barbara cherry pie with a seamless structure.

Spoiled! This was amazing, great minerality and spices. Opens up and wonderful tart and dried red fruit and berries appear. Balanced acidity and tannins. Amazing producer!
