Product Notes

Chanin Wine Co. Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir is an exceptional wine that embodies the true essence of California's Santa Rita Hills. The wine is made with the finest grapes grown in the renowned Sanford and Benedict vineyards, known for their excellent quality and complex flavors. The wine boasts a rich and ruby hue and has an alluring aroma of cedar, black cherry, and toasted oak. The palate is silky and smooth, with rich flavors of dark berries, blackcurrants, and a hint of spice. The finish is long and exquisite, leaving an unforgettable taste on the tongue. This Pinot Noir is perfect for special occasions and pairs well with lamb, roasted poultry or a wild mushroom risotto.

Tasting Notes

It has a wonderful nose of ripe red and black currants as well as subtle woodsmoke, dried herbs, and forest floor. This carries to a pure, medium-bodied, balanced Pinot Noir with ripe tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It opens up nicely with time in the glass and will no doubt benefit from another year or two of bottle age

About the Winery

Chanin Wine Co. is run by Gavin Chanin, who featured in Forbes’ “30 under 30” under the Food and Wine Category and as a “Winemaker to watch” in the San Francisco Chronicle. The company focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties of grapes grown in Santa Barbara County, the perfect ground to produce the Burgundian grape varieties. The wines are made from grapes in one vineyard, which allows them to create balanced wines with low alcohol levels. The company focuses more on producing an authentic wine experience than on commercial gains. It keeps away from all winemaking additives, excess alcohol and modern wine filtering machines.

Some of the creations of Gavin Chanin and his Chanin Wine Co. include:

2017 ‘Los Alamos Vineyard’ Pinot Noir: With 80% destemming and 20% French oak, the wine has notes of rose petals and spring flowers. It also has hints of cherry and sweet strawberry. It provides a soft, medium-bodied drink with a perfect balance, fine tannins and a beautiful finish. The wine is highly rated by both enthusiasts and critics. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and the magazine Wine Enthusiast awarded the drink with 93 points.

2017 ‘Bien Nacido Vineyard’ Pinot Noir: The wine has been named in remembrance of the company’s collaboration with the Bien Nacido Vineyard in 2008. The wine contains stems and French oak in a 65-35 ratio. It is slightly darker than the Los Alamos Vineyard and is translucent. With a complex bouquet of black cherries, leather, earth and sappy herbs, the wine is a rich, concentrate and medium-bodied drink and is perfectly balanced. Renowned wine critic Jeb Dunnuck has awarded 95 points to the wine. The magazine Wine Enthusiast has awarded 92 points to the drink.

2018 ‘Los Alamos Vineyard’ Chardonnay: The wine is named after the Los Alamos Vineyard from which the company purchased one ton of Chardonnay when it started operations in 2007. The wine exhibits a golden hue and a bouquet of honeysuckle, almond paste, stone fruits and toasted bread. With a beautiful texture and a seamless palate, the wine is worth the money.
