Chanin, Duvarita Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014
Chanin Wine Co. is devoted to expressing the distinct character of Santa Barbara County’s finest vineyards, with a particular focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — two varieties that transparently reflect place. The Duvarita Vineyard, cooled by Pacific breezes and rooted in complex, marine-based soils, is ideally suited to Pinot Noir, benefiting from a long, even growing season that builds nuance and natural balance. The 2014 vintage in Santa Barbara was warm, dry and notably consistent, producing wines of purity, ripeness and beautifully polished structure. In Chanin’s hands, this translates to a Pinot Noir defined by finesse and quiet complexity rather than weight. Winemaking here is deliberately hands-off: native fermentations, no modern additives, no filtration and no intrusive processing.
JCP Maltus, Château Teyssier, (Magnum) 2019
This wine is presented in its original wooden case. A polished, fruit-forward Saint-Émilion built mainly on Merlot, the 2019 shows ripe plum and blackberry, soft spice and fine, supple tannins. It’s drinking beautifully now, with enough structure to hold for a few more years. Teyssier is a solid performer, gracing the first-class lounges of several airlines, the choice of a Grand Prix or two, and recommended by critics like The Wall Street Journal’s Will Lyons and Master of Wine Tim Atkin. It’s also one of our key picks and best-value reds — great for impressing at dinner parties without trying too hard.
