ABC made Pinot in Santa Barbara for 30 years, still hand picks & sorts heavily in the vineyard, open top fermenters allowing “punch down” by hand. Top Pinot’s never pumped, only moved by gravity & age in new French Oak. ABC Pinot is basically same since 1982. Lively, big blue fruit aromas & sweet spice, aged for 2 years French oak, 25% new. Palate sweet dark berry fruits, cacao & cola notes, nice mouthfeel. Soft tannins, easy drinking now, lingering ending with a fruit character. Nice! Tasting Sample!
