title: Chanin 2007 Le Bon Climat Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Marked by aggressive acidity and some dusty tannins, this Pinot is not showing well now. It's just too hard and tart. But the flavors are enormously ripe, and the finish is dry and silky and long. It all suggests cellaring to let the cherries, black raspberries and Dr. Pepper cola emerge from their tomb. Better after 2011.
variety: Pinot Noir
