Chanin 2013 Zotovich Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Chanin / Zotovich Vineyard

Gavin Chanin’s take on this vineyard shows lots of dark but never heavy spice on the nose, with bergamot, white sage and damp eucalyptus forest complementing the raspberry fruit. The palate clings to a line of graphite minerality, with cooked raspberry torte and loamy earth flavors leading into a black-tea finish.
