2024 Pinot Noir, La Bauge Au-Dessus Au Bon Climat (Santa Maria, CA)
$39.99
The winery translates the name as a wild party upstairs. It began on the hillsides of Bien Nacido, and once his own Le Bon Climat vineyard proved itself he started blending the best lots of both every year. Five-ton open-top fermenters punched down daily, two years in barrel, egg white fining, bottled unfiltered. Cherry and cranberry up front, rose petal, earth and spice underneath.
