title: Au Bon Climat 2011 Knox Alexander Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Ripe raspberry jam scents gain intrigue thanks to hints of eucalyptus oil, orange rinds and iron on this Jim Clendenen-made wine. The palate is driven by dried herbs, from oregano to thyme, with cooked pork rind meatiness in the middle and a vanilla-flecked finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Knox Alexander
