The 2017 Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay is another outstanding wine from Gavin Chanin in this vintage. This beautiful Chardonnay comes from the sandy soils of the Los Alamos Vineyard in Santa Barbara, and benefits from its high elevation and cool pacific air. As the wine itself begins to open, it releases gorgeous aromas of Meyer lemon, golden apple, ripe peach and mango, followed by hints of buttered almond and white flowers. It possesses a gorgeous mouth coating texture, with beautiful fruit that is backed by wonderful acidity, keeping it fresh and inviting through the finsih. Overall, this Chardonnay is simply delicious now, yet should continue to drink beautifully for years to come.
