Bouchaine Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate Carneros 2022

“The 2022 Bouchane Estate Pinot Noir leaps out of the glass with ruby-red fruit, brown baking spices, and well-integrated cedarwood aromatics. The medium-bodied palate builds with darker fruit intensity, finishing on a long, saline-driven acidity marked by earthy depth. All too easy to crush a bottle in the late afternoon—no matter where you are in the world.”

“An appetizing sense of restraint comes with vibrant red and black fruit in this vivid and well-balanced wine. It's medium-bodied, slightly tannic, supporting complex red cherry, sour cherry, bay leaf and savory tea notes. Drink or hold.”
