🚨 Quaff-ability Alert 🚨

Had this in Cut Park Lane w/ a top steak so was keen to review @ home properly 👍 @ £50 I think this is the best Chanin single block Pinot I’ve had in a top year - really well balanced, not overpowered & loaded with vibrant fruit 😍

Project between Gavin Chanin and Bill Price. Drank better on 3rd day open than 1st or 2nd. Remarkable. — 12 years ago

Gordons Čhanin tasting 6/13/17. $43. #8. on between the other two vineyards. Of new world and complexity. Nose with prominent red fruits and berries and spiciness. More full bodied on palate and finish with acidity. — 9 years ago

Very impressed by this new project w Gavin Chanin as winemaker. Easily best out of a blind tasting of 15 new release Sonoma Pinots we did the other day. — 11 years ago

For a long time, this was my favorite Santa Barbara Pinot. The Chanin has surpassed it, but it's still great. — 11 years ago
