Au Bon Climat
Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
Bargain priced for the quality. Medium Ruby with lots of varietal character - dried orange peel, raspberry, strawberry, violet and forest floor. Lovely texture with light, ripe tannins. Medium finish. A fitting tribute to the late Jim Clendenin

Jul 12th, 2021My Sunday night wine I have gone back to a favorite of mine that is not going to break the bank and is consistently good. I have opened the Jim Clendenon 2018 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County.
On the nose there is raspberry, cranberry, cherry, spice vanilla anise, clove and earthiness.
On the palate I detect good red fruit, raspberry, cherry, cranberry, red currant, anise, clove and earthiness.
The wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and medium fine tannins that leads into a long fresh red fruit finish. Another well blended wine from Jim Clendenon that i have come to expect. I hope everyone's weekend was a good one and we are all still safe and healthy. Have a great week, Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Jul 2nd, 2021I thought this wine to be a memorable selection. Sad to hear of Jim Clendenen's passing. Always consistently great wines! Previous rating holds!
