Rich and sweet but balanced – miraculously!

(Au Bon Climat, Hildegard, Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris, Central Coast, Santa Maria Valley, California, USA, White) This Pinot-based blend shows an exoticism not apparent in the winery's Chardonnays. There are some tropical fruit aromas of bananas as well as herbs and a dash of spice. Supple and rounded, it's already quite fleshy. It's concentrated with a peppery aftertaste, and the acidity gives a long, creamy finish. (Drink between 2022-2028)
