Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir

The palate is silky, bright, and red‑fruited, opening with red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry lifted by fresh, medium‑plus acidity that gives the wine energy and drive. Tannins are fine, soft, and lightly chalky, offering gentle structure without weight. The mid‑palate shows rose petal, subtle spice, dried herbs, and a touch of earthy‑forest‑floor, adding savoury detail beneath the vibrant fruit. The finish is clean, supple, and quietly mineral, leaving cherry skin, soft spice, and a light earthy‑herbal echo.
