 (code: 71117B)
 
Download Cellar Notes (pdf)
The inimitable, signature house style of all ABC wines is one thing that I much I love, but I also much appreciate the fact that each vineyard/cuvee offers the drinker something totally different. The Bien Nacido is an obvious step up from the Santa Maria and has a fabulously enticing nose of red cherry and a touch of pepper spice. The fruit is pure, fresh and quite primary on the palate, without being too much of a 'fruit bomb'. There is depth here, and  it has something to please everyone, including the Burgundy purists. I’d prefer to drink this early (within the next 5 years) although it can improve further with age.
