Au Bon Climat Description
This expressive Pinot Noir shows the signature Santa Maria Valley character of cranberry, cherry, and rose petal in the fragrant aroma. The wine has a core of red and black berries, and offers loads of spice with touches of licorice, cola and sagebrush. It is a well structured, balanced, deeply colored wine with more richness and intensity than most. Round and plush, it is one of the more voluptuous, racy wines in style
The soil at Runway Vineyard is sandy, so once the weather warms in the summer, the grapes ripen quickly. Due to our proximity, we can pick the grapes “just right”. We are “hands-on” with our Pinot. Every Pinot Noir is fermented in 5-ton opentop fermenters, which are punched down once or twice daily. These punch downs breakup the cap of skins that rises to the surface into the juice so the fermentation process extracts the best part of the Pinot grapes. The wine is pressed to complete dryness and goes to barrel with moderate lees. As with all of our single vineyard Pinots, the wine gets all the TLC needed to ensure optimum quality. It was barrel aged for almost 24 months in François Frères barrels, about 50% new oak
