Chanin 2015 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
Finely chopped herb notes, recalling marjoram, thyme and anise, combine with with dried rose and red cherry aromas on the delicately wild nose of this bottling. The palate adds forest floor flavors to its dark red fruit, making for a heady expression that grows in complexity sip after sip. Matt Kettmann
