Description
Pinot Noir from Los Alamos balances vibrancy and complexity, where aromas of cranberry, dried cherry, and lilac blend seamlessly with flavors of cola and licorice. A well-structured wine with a textured mouthfeel, it reveals subtle notes of orange zest and flint, leading to a finish enriched by grippy oak tannins. This wine promises a layered, contemplative experience.

Au Bon Climat is one of the pioneering estates of Santa Barbara County, founded in 1982 by the late Jim Clendenen. Inspired by the great wines of Burgundy, Clendenen established a philosophy rooted in balance, restraint and site expression at a time when power dominated Californian winemaking.
Working closely with top vineyards across Santa Barbara County, Au Bon Climat focuses primarily on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, crafting wines defined by elegance, structure and ageworthiness. Traditional techniques, judicious oak use and a commitment to long-term cellaring have shaped a house style that marries Californian fruit with European sensibility.
Today, Au Bon Climat remains a benchmark producer in the region, celebrated for its classical approach and enduring influence.
