Pinot Noir Knox Alexander 2016

Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Knox Alexander 2016 is a polished and personality-driven California Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley, named after winemaker Jim Clendenen’s son. It stands out for its refined complexity, elegant structure, and the kind of depth that makes it both immediately appealing and memorable over time.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color, hinting at its concentration and finesse. The nose opens with ripe red berries, cherry, subtle spice, and a delicate touch of oak, creating a layered and inviting aromatic profile. On the palate, it is generous yet graceful, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, and well-balanced acidity that keeps everything fresh and focused. Silky tannins give the wine a smooth texture, while the finish leaves a lingering mineral impression and a faint smoky nuance. This is a Pinot Noir with aging potential, though it is already drinking beautifully now.

Viininvalmistus
Sourced from Santa Maria Valley in California, this wine benefits from one of the state’s coolest and most distinctive Pinot Noir terroirs, where maritime influence helps preserve freshness and structure. The grapes are typically harvested with careful attention to ripeness and balance, and vinified to highlight purity of fruit, elegance, and the subtle oak integration that gives the wine its polished finish.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with lamb, venison, mushroom risotto, roast poultry, or dishes featuring earthy flavors and soft herbs. Serve slightly chilled, around 14–16°C, and decanting for 20–30 minutes can help open up its aromas, especially if enjoyed in its youth.

Tuottaja

Based in Santa Barbara County, the winery has earned a strong reputation for elegance, balance, and restraint, helping define a more classic style of California winemaking.
