2005 Bouchaine Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, Rockin' H Vineyard
Masculine and brooding, Bouchaine's Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir contrasts with the more elegant nature of our native Carneros Pinot Noir. Met head-on with its focus and power, Winemaker Mike Richmond used his Carneros sensibilities to sculpt dark berry, black cherry and leather character from a one-dimensional to a multi-faceted gem. (About 300 cases produced)
This extravagant wine was harvested from Hendricks Vineyard Rockin' H Ranch on the Sonoma Coast. The nine year old Pinot Noir vines are Dijon clones 667 and 777 on 101-14 rootstock. The wine was barrel aged, and 30% of the barrels were new Trust Cooperage Hungarian oak.
Pinot Noirs are famously versatile with a range of foods. This Pinot, with its dark fruit and sculpted structure, extends Pinot's versatility even further, pairing beautifully with robust dishes such a Valencia Paella, full of savory grilled chicken and shellfish and seasoned with the fragrant earthiness of that opulent spice, saffron.
