Saturday, May 28, 2016 - Wow. Wasn't sure what I was getting when this showed up at my Trader Joe's. I'm familiar with Bouchaine (have visited the winery) so bought a bunch of this immediately, but uncorked a bottle with some trepidation. Were they unloading a bad year? On opening, I was relieved to find it was a typical Carneros pinot; but then, after getting a couple hours of air, this transformed into a complex, wonderful wine. Could use a touch more acidity for my tastes, but if you see this at TJ's, don't hesitate to snatch it up.
