9.1

Dark ruby red with garnet edges and high intensity. Nose started off with some spices, like cloves, cinnamon, some dust, red cherries and a little wax. Like crayons. As it opened up there were also some espresso beans. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Chewy mouthfeel and an earthy texture. Smooth spices and cherries throughout the palate with a semi-dry super long finish. A little more approachable than the Mascot. Classic high end Sonoma Cab. Drink till 2031. (91+) — 9 years ago

On a trip to CA, tried 10 AuBonClimat wines. Jim Clendenen, owner of ABC in 2000, created his own label to explore making unique wines from his Le Bon Climat vineyard, later expanded the project to include fruit from other historic Santa Barbara County sites. Jim named this wine "The Pip" in homage to his Border Collie, former winery mascot. Aromas of stone and tropical fruits. Apple and pear flavors with lemon zest and a touch of vanilla oak. Well balanced and Crisp on the finish ending with mineral tones. — 9 years ago

Wow! This is a punch in your face red. Very bold and leathery. The nose hits you with sour cherry. A deep breath in will set your nose on fire. Acidity is powerful but not overwhelming, at least when you expect a powerful wine. Finish refuses to tamper down and remains as strong as it started. A little almond and dried cranberry mingles with fresh herbs. Perfect for the holiday. The label mascot does NOT lie! RAWR! — 10 years ago

Nice darker white wine, sweet but fuller body. Still easy to drink like a mascot. — 12 years ago
