Au Bon Climat Bien Nacido Pinot Noir

The palate is silky, focused, and quietly powerful, opening with red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry lifted by fresh, medium‑plus acidity that gives the wine real drive and tension. Tannins are fine, chalky, and confidently shaped, offering more structure than Los Alamos or SBC bottlings. The mid‑palate shows rose petal, dried herbs, forest floor, subtle spice, and a cool‑climate mineral thread, adding depth beneath the vibrant red fruit. The finish is long, precise, and earthy‑mineral, leaving cherry skin, spice, and a clean, savoury echo.
