2007 Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $20. 76% Pinot Noir, 24% Mondeuse.
·
Darkly fruited nose with a touch of chocolate fudge, barnyard and hay. Juicy nondescript dark fruit with a hint
of pepper, char and tea flavors. Nicely crafted with decent acidity for the table, but veers away from the typical
Pinot Noir flavor profile.
