Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County 2023 750ml

Classic Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. It is a deeply colored, fruit forward Pinot with a nose of spiced cranberry, strawberry and hibiscus. The abundance of fruit continues on the palate showing plum, dark cherry, and cranberry with nuances of anise, tea and clove. It is a powerful Pinot at a great price point.
Easily matched with barbecued ribs, oak grilled chops, a juicy burger or spicy Asian cuisine. Enjoy with salmon, spicy Indian dishes, or even oak grilled burgers.

The Pinot Noir crop ripened slowly and evenly, giving the resulting wine a fruit driven aroma followed by complex flavors of green tea, strawberry, cranberry, clove, and unsweetened dark chocolate. This Pinot reminds us of our 2005 Santa Barbara County. Both wines have a freshness that should last for years, but with a real Pinot Noir backbone that will slowly develop for at least another 10 years.
