Producer Notes
Strawberries and blackberries aromas slowly rise out of the glass. Over time, more of the anise and clove will mix with these other aromas. At release, the wine is young with mouth filling intensity and suppleness. Complexity will increase as the wine ages, but this wine should stay “fresh” for 6 or 7 years. Like all Au Bon Climat wines, this is a food wine.
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.
