Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay 2020 Vintage Overview

2020 OVERVIEW

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.

About Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay

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.
