2009 Bouchaine Gee Vineyard Pinot Noir  

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. Less than 250 cases of this wine are produced each year, and only in those vintages where the wine is simply exceptional will it be released as its own bottling.

FOOD PAIRING

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