Chanin Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2021 Esprit de Gloria 75% merlot and 25% cabernetEqual parts juicy, luscious and fresh throughout, this release has become out of the great, consistent values found in Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. Red fruits with fresh flowers and herbs on the nose lead to darker fruits balanced with a subtle, spice driven grit on the palate. A blend of sites with radically different soil types, ranging from diatomaceous earth, shale, clay and sand.
