Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir 2005
 |
|
BN#191095 |
A long harvest provided us a veritable smorgasbord of grape ripeness and maturity, all of which enhanced the character of this Pinot, adding richness and layers of flavor. The resulting wine is redolent of cherries and plums with a touch of earthiness and orange peel. Pinot is the most versatile red wine and pairs best with so many foods. Anything grilled or smoked is fabulous. Try Bouchaine's Carneros Pinot with blackened salmon, braised pork tenderloin, or mushroom risotto accented with truffle oil.
Wine Enthusiast
A very pretty Pinot, and while it’s not terribly complicated or ageworthy, it’s one of those wines that goes gently with almost anything you serve it with. Dry and elegant, its flavors veer toward cherries, tobacco and herbs.
Score: 87.
