Sourced from a prized site in Santa Barbara County, it reflects both the vineyard’s cool-climate character and Chanin’s long-standing commitment to elegant, site-driven wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a polished, vibrant profile with lifted aromas of dark cherry, dried cranberry, salted pork, smoke, rose petals, and violets. The palate is elegant yet layered, with flavors of plum, dark cherry, raspberry, mint, cinnamon, and a subtle touch of licorice, all carried by a refined texture and excellent balance.\n\nThe wine already offers a compelling drinking experience now, but it also has the structure and harmony to develop beautifully over the next 7–8 years. With time, the savory nuances and floral elements are likely to deepen further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Zotovich Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills, a cool-climate area of Santa Barbara County known for producing expressive, finely structured Pinot Noir. Harvest and sorting are done by hand, and most clusters are destemmed before pressing. The wine is then aged for 17 months in French oak barrels, including 15% new oak, which adds subtle complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, herb-crusted pork, grilled salmon, or dishes with earthy and savory elements. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if drinking it young to help the aromatics open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChanin is the label of Gavin Chanin, a highly regarded California winemaker known for crafting restrained, terroir-focused wines that highlight the nuances of Santa Barbara County.
