CALIFORNIA : SANTA BARBARA COUNTY Pinot Noir MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACKBERRY, RASPBERRY, CHERRY ANISE, CLOVE, OAK Listed on Robert Parker’s Best Wineries of the World in both 1989 & 1999, Au Bon Climate (which is owned by renowned winemaker Jim Clendenen) has achieved an almost mythic level of celebrity in the wine world … and rightly so, in our opinion! Food-friendly and age-worthy, the 2019 Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County punches way above its price point with mouth filling intensity and suppleness. Still quite young, it should remain “fresh” for the next 6-7 years, but will become more complex & continue to improve with age. ECOLOGY: Sustainable FOOD PAIRING: Classic Club Sandwich & Fries

Solid Pinot for a restaurant to pour by the glass. Textbook Santa Barbara nose of crunchy red fruits and cinnamon spice. The finish is so bright with strawberries and red licorice flavor.
