Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County 2023
Region: Santa Barbara County, California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Country: USA
Vintage: 2023
The Wine
Continuing a 41-year legacy of Burgundian-style Pinot Noir the 2023 vintage draws from vineyards like Bien Nacido, North Canyon, and Rancho Real. Grapes are hand-picked, gently destemmed, cold-soaked, and partially whole-cluster fermented in open-top fermenters. Aged around 10 months in French oak (10% new), the wine captures both bright fruit and nuanced spice.
Cellared says
Bright, medium-bodied, and supremely balanced—think strawberry-raspberry fruit elevated by subtle herbal, earthy tones. This Pinot carries finesse, freshness, and versatility that belies its approachable price.
