2012 Chanin Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay

9.5

Great balance minerality, acidity and balance. Shows more weight than Gavin's typical Chards, likely owing to the vintage.

Easily the best Santa Barbara County Chardonnay I've had. Should age for a decade.

Lemon custard, spice and wet stone nose, citrus and tropical fruit flavors with just a touch of butter, and excellent balance, with potential to age well. Silky texture and long finish. A gem!

Young, one note and a bit shrill. Good bones.

A bit nervy at first with a citrus undertone dominating the palette. I prefer the 2012 Los Alamos but this one has a taught which makes this one very versitle. A very clean and crisp wine which will go a long way.

Vibrant aromatics, wet leaves outta the gate. Fullish body, round and pure on the palate.
