Au Bon Climat - Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County 2021
Au Bon Climat Description
This is a blend of Pinot Noir from six premiere coastal vineyards in Santa Barbara County: Bien Nacido, Rancho Vinedo, Le Bon Climat, Los Alamos Vineyard, Kick-On Vineyard, and Pence Ranch.
"It is deeply colored with aromas and flavors of strawberries and raspberries joined by anise and clove in mouth filling intensity. Strawberry and blackberry aromas slowly rise out of the glass. Over time, more of the anise and clove will mix with these other aromas. Currently, 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. In its youth, match this wine with lamb or dried meats. After a few years, as the flavors coalesce, it will pair better with salmon or mild red sauce with pasta. We have enjoyed this wine with many food choices from spicy Indian dishes to all-American sandwiches, and the wine worked well with most anything. The possible food pairings are almost endless."
