Bouchaine Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate Carneros 2022

One of the tippy-top BEST wineries in Carneros is BACK – and their estate-grown, utterly ROCKING 93 POINT Pinot Noir is here for a grand ol’ time...but not a long one!!!

Give me a “B”! Give me a “U”! Give me a “Shane”! What’s that spell? (Not really…just roll with it.) BOUCHAINE!!! Who’s ready for glory? For unending joy, and guilt-free sipping on Carneros Pinot that seriously, vigorously, OVERDELIVERS!!! Yes, sir! Bouchaine is back…and how – with a straight-up jaw-dropping 63% OFF this 93 point, simply titillating ESTATE Pinot Noir…you better FLY!

We’re talking 100 acres of absolute prime, Napa Carneros vineyards, overlooking the San Francisco Bay, and all the fog, wind, and cooling influence that comes along with it. It’s one of the best sites for Pinot Noir in the entire Napa Valley – and Bouchaine is one of Napa’s longest champions of Carneros for good reason. This CLASSIC beauty – and I’m talking Audrey Hepburn, Roman Holiday levels of classic – soars in at a totally balanced 13.8 abv, and a freshness-preserving 10 months aging, with only 20% new French oak in the process. The result???

Hypnotic. Exotic. Elegance and power perfectly intertwined, with a lift that is matched by depth, supple structure, and a long, delicate finish. WOWZA! Black cherries, and sweet smoky herbs, with vanilla bean, milk chocolate, and a tangy summer strawberry compote. A kiss of cedar keeps this hanging around like my golden retriever begging for a walk – and every bit as heartbreaking! UNDER $20 makes this an EPIC steal for pedigreed Napa Pinot Noir – but get a move on…only so much to go ‘round! 

While it lasts!
