Wine Review: This red colored Pinot Noir from Au Bon Climat is very good. It opens with a red cherry and gentle plum bouquet. We also detected hints of strawberry and mustard seed. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, clean and delicate. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild blueberry with notes of cedar plank and hints of pomegranate and rhubarb. The finish is dry and its flavors are nicely extended. The Panel suggested pairing this tasty Pinot with lamb lollypops or broiled Faroe Island salmon. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Part of our elite "Blue Series", Isabelle is comprised of only the best cuvees each vintage. Consequently, it is consistently our top performing Pinot Noir year to year. Dark, rich, and layered, this regal wine is remarkable now, but will be even more integrated and complex in time.
