Clendenen Family 2007 Le Bon Climat Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
-
$60
Ultrarich and spicy, with exotic flavors of bacon, cherry pie, cola and sandalwood. Notable for its structure, so dry and sturdy in tannins, yet so silky. A big, full-bodied wine, it should develop bottle complexity over the next four years.
