It's like drinking a thick silk shirt- soft- (it's a pinot)- If they made a leather syrup and you mixed it with bing cherries this is it. Some spices and some wood but there isn't any noticable mushroomy forest floor tatse either (my noir nemisis).... Word for word my review for my favorite noir to date- bing cherries is substituted for cranberry though. I was fortunate enough to try two half bottles opened 2 days apart, with both re-corked... And let this decant! The first/ oldest bottle is my love noir, the second while great could use the air bottle number one had.

Won package of various Bouchaine wines. This, by far, has been the best bottle. Nice balance.

Well balanced, very good but not exceptional.

Pinot Palooza: Little more depth than the Carneros, low t’s, more rich, but less expressive; hint more smokey, but closed nose.
