Chanin’s 2020 Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay glides across the palate with ripe pear, lemon oil and tangerine, layered over subtle brioche and a gentle touch of oak spice. Medium-bodied yet concentrated, it feels silky and bright at once, with a focused line of acidity and a long, saline-tinged finish that keeps the richness in perfect check.

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.
