Two Chanin Wines Make “Year’s Best” List

I’m proud to announce that two of our 2013 wines made Wine & Spirits Magazine’s “Year’s Best Pinot Noir” issue. They tasted over 1,100 Pinots for this small list of top wines. On top of that, our 2013 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir was THE highest scoring Pinot on the list with 95 points. Our 2013 Rita’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir is also included at 91 points. It is an honor to be mentioned among producers that I hold in high regard. You can check out the full reviews and list of producers in the April issue of Wine & Spirits.

95 points
“An abundance of fruit springs up out of the stony structure, vibrating with bright acidity and oceanic saltiness that fill the tensile structure with cool flavor”- Wine & Spirits Magazine

2013 Rita’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir

91 points
“…a wealth of flavor underneath, the tannins as gripping as dark cherry skin, the fruit lush and clean.”- Wine & Spirits Magazine
