"Savory on the nose, this wine offers aromas of wild black plum roasted over sagebrush and tumbleweeds, recalling the chaparral in the Los Padres National Forest that stretches throughout the Central Coast. The palate pairs salty charcuterie flavors with quince jam and dried cherry, with roasted chestnut lingering on the finish.
Winemaker Notes:
"A blend of Au Bon Climat's top Pinot barrels from different vineyard sources, the Isabelle Pinot is their most highly regarded. It is a bright and effusive wine with tons of aromatic presence and fine balance. Sweet red cherry fruit, orange peel, spice, and dried herbs open first, followed by a host of perfumed floral notes that lead into the mid-palate and finish. Silky and quite elegant, all it really needs time in the bottle to come into its own. "
Alcohol: 13.5%
