About this bottle
This Au Bon Climat 2018 is a Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County, the cool-climate California region the winery has built its reputation on since the 1980s. Founded by the late Jim Clendenen, Au Bon Climat has long focused on Burgundian varieties grown in a way that emphasizes site and restraint over sheer ripeness. Expect red and dark berry fruit, a touch of spice and earth, and a texture that's silky rather than heavy, with moderate tannins and a lingering finish. It's a good match for roast duck, mushroom-forward dishes, or grilled salmon, and a solid entry point into Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir.
How to drink Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
Serve it slightly below room temperature with roast duck, mushrooms, or grilled salmon — dishes with some earthiness that match the wine's own savory edge.

Questions about this bottle
What's the right serving temperature?
Around 60-65°F, slightly below room temperature — full room temperature can make the tannins feel heavier than they are.
Who makes this wine?
Au Bon Climat was founded by the late Jim Clendenen, a pioneering California winemaker known for Burgundian-style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County.
Should this wine be decanted?
It's not necessary, but a short 15-20 minute decant can help open up the fruit if you're drinking it soon after purchase.
