Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from a blend of 5 vineyards in 2 appelations,Santa Maria Valley & Santa Barbara County

Taste Profile:The 2021 Pinot Noir crop ripened slowly and evenly. The result was a nose loaded with dark fruits. A smokey, plummy note is first noticed and then fresher strawberry, cherry/berry aromas slowly become evident. It has a deep ruby color that foretells a mouth-filling intensity. This is not a wine that will take time to express its potential; it is a rich and satisfying experience even at this young age.

Winemaking Process: Aged for 10 monts in French oak barrels, about 10% new.
