2021 Au Bon Climat, Knox Alexander, Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley, California, USA

Description

Knox Alexander Pinot Noir exhibits a refined profile with notes of ripe strawberry, delicate black tea, hints of lilac, and the subtle allure of hibiscus. Passion fruit floral components add a graceful touch. The palate experience is enduring as the once prominent tannins from wood components have now evolved into a silky texture, promising further integration and refinement with time.
