Chanin’s 2018 Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay glides across the palate with poised richness, offering layers of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, and a gentle creaminess framed by subtle bakery and floral notes. Medium to full in body yet lifted and precise, it feels at once generous and finely etched, with a long, graceful finish that emphasizes freshness over sheer weight.

Chanin’s Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay is a Santa Barbara County single‑vineyard wine from high‑elevation, sandy/calcareous soils near the coast; Gavin Chanin ferments mostly in French oak (a small percentage new) and ages on lees, often with malolactic influence, producing a bright, saline-driven Chardonnay that combines citrus and stone‑fruit aromas with toasted almond/ brioche notes, lively acidity and a savory, mineral finish.
