(Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara Pinot Noir) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-a little dried cranberry; some leather and strawberry as well, but pretty tight overall; PALATE-great ripe cherry coming through; I like the bacon fat; also an undeniable spicy Egg Nog play on the finish that I like; a great amount of strawberry action; good solid length; the tannins are a little bitter on the finish; well balanced; I like this wine; it's quite good; GV-89
