Chanin Los Alamos Pinot Noir 2020 (750ML)

91 Points, Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard is delicately styled, made with 15% whole clusters and matured in 15% new oak. It has a very pale ruby color and aromas of struck flint, burnt orange peel and spicy blackberries with earthy undertones. The light-bodied palate is soft with rounded acidity and a satisfying core of sweet berries, finishing with lots of spicy accents." 12/22

92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2020 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard is delicate, lifted and ethereal, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking over the next handful of years. Crushed rose petal, orange peel, dried herbs and red berry all grace the 2020. Hints of whole cluster savoriness add further dimension. This is nicely done, and a super-classic expression of Los Alamos." 08/22

95 Points, Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast: "A light hue in the glass, this bottling is pleasantly rustic on the nose with aromas of cherry juice, rust and charcuterie. The palate is layered in complex, lovely flavors of white pepper, mace and red currant, with each component working in harmony toward the acidity-splashed finish." 09/22

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Leading off the Pinot Noirs, the 2020 Los Alamos Vineyard Pinot Noir saw 15% stems and spent 15 months in just 15% new French oak. Its translucent ruby hue is followed by a solid perfume of spiced red fruits, flowers, peppery herbs, and flowers. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium-bodied, has a pure, seamless mouthfeel, flawless balance, and a great finish. This is a stunningly ethereal, elegant expression of Pinot Noir to drink over the coming decade." 08/22
