2020 Au Bon Climat, Runway Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, California, USA

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 liquorice, cola, and sagebrush. It is a well-structured, balanced, deeply coloured wine with more richness and intensity than most. Round and plush, it is one of the more voluptuous, racy wines in style.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 91/100

From the Santa Maria Valley, the 2020 Pinot Noir Runway Vineyard brings more complexity and has a terrific core of red and black berry fruits, leafy herbs, flowers, and earthy, foresty nuances. Medium-bodied, it offers good concentration, bright acidity, and outstanding length. It's another age-worthy wine in the lineup that offers pleasure today yet will evolve for a decade.
