2007 Bouchaine Gee Vineyard Pinot Noir, Napa Valley-Carneros  Exclusive New Release!

This single-vineyard wine, a sought-after favorite of Bouchaine Bacchus Wine Club members and those in-the-know, comes only from the dry-farmed (non-irrigated) Gee Vineyard.

The Gee Vineyard is a small 16-acre property across the road from the winery, where the rare practice of dry farming has been in use for many years. It produces small yields of grapes with uncommonly concentrated flavors. We then coax the wine into a beauty sleep in French oak barrels for approximately 11 months, which enhances the already-complex flavors even further. Only in those vintages where the wine is simply exceptional will the Gee Vineyard wine be released as its own bottling. Approximately 250 cases produced in the 2007 vintage.

The resulting wine presents more noticeable spice notes and savory nuances, wonderful to balance more savory dishes like braised short ribs or grilled pork tenderloin.
