Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Knox Alexander 2021 Bottle:1 12 ha in the BriccoLush, velvety, creamy, bursting with berries, fragrant flowers, and soft wafts of vanilla, the 2001 Knox is a wine for hedonists. Made from 50% Dijon clones and 50% traditional California selections planted by Jim Clendenen at the higher elevations of Bien Nacido Vineyard, this wine seems to grow in stature with every vintage much like Jim's own son, Knox, who lends the wine his name.
