94pts: Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Isabelle 2010

Editor’s Rating

94

Leave this beauty to sit for 20 minutes before diving into a glass, you’ll be incredibly thankful. Au Bon have created a sublime reputation for themselves, and with very good reason. The 2010 Isabella offers vibrant notes of toffee and cherry, deep dark black and red fruits with that oaky vanilla touch, bursting with a ‘jammy’ boldness. This is no light Pinot, you can expect complexity like a baked pie, it’s almost like a young Zin bursting with flavor.
