CHANIN Chardonnay 'Bien Nacido Vineyard' 2012

This is a stunning Chardonnay from Gavin Chanin, which comes from 39-year-old vines on the classic Santa Maria bench plantings of the famed Bien Nacido vineyard. The wine itself displays notes of Bosc pear, lemon oil, almonds, vanilla, spices and smoky minerals. It has a gorgeous creamy texture, yet remains crisp with live acidity all the way through the fresh, clean finish. This is almost impossible to resist now, but it should also continue to show well for years to come. (Best 2014-2022) - April, 2014 (MD)
