CHANIN Pinot Noir, Rita's Crown Vineyard 2013


2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #38


The 2013 Rita's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir is absolutely thrilling. It delivers gorgeous aromas of fresh strawberries and wild berries followed by spices, dried floral and hints of black tea, which beautifully emerge from the glass. This beautiful Pinot Noir is wrapped in fine, silky tannins, displaying fantastic structure and balance, as it remains fresh, vibrant and focused until the very end. A terrific effort from Gavin Chanin that is already offering so much, but should also continue to evolve over the next decade. Only 9 barrels made.  (Best 2016-2029) - April, 2015 (JD)
