HOME 2006 Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir Wine Reviews
2006 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Mountain Living Magazine, April 2009 "Fish such as salmon and tuna and lighter fish served with a flavorful sauce pair well with a variety of wines. Some of the more interesting pairings feature red wines. Pinot Noir, such as Bouchaine 2006 Carneros, matches particularly well with salmon."2006 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Restaurant Wine Magazine, Harvest 2008 "Four-plus stars: excellent. Highly recommended! A beautifully balanced, full bodied Pinot Noir, that is long on the palate and persistent on the finish. It tastes of cherry, plum, red currant, rose petal, nutmeg, and toast. Excellent."2006 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in California Grapevine, August-September 2008 "Attractive cherry fruit aroma with notes of charred oak; full body; rich, textured, cedary, toasty, cherry fruit flavors with firm acidity; lingering aftertaste. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."2006 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Sante Magazine, September 2008 "Vibrant aromas and flavors of ripe red berry fruit; medium to full bodied with excellent balance and a moderately long finish."2006 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Philadelphia Examiner, January 31, 2009 Sexy sips and treatments for Valentine's Day II by Liza Zimmerman "Elgant flavors of smoke and dark cherries." 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Press Democrat, April 4, 2007 Named by Press Democrat as one of the best Pinot Noirs to pair with lamb, Bouchaine's 2005 Carneros Pinot Noir earned 3.5 stars out of 4! "Pairs well with lamb. Bold, with concentrated flavors. Has a tannic grip. Notes of strawberry, plum, and toast." 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Annapolis Capital Gazette, April 2007 "Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir 2005. Medium body, pleasant cherry flavors and good balance." --Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr in Capital-Gazette Wine Picks 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Wine Review Online by Michael Apstein, May 15, 2007 "90 POINTS! The cool Carneros region spans the southern ends of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and is well suited for Pinot Noir, a variety that thrives in cooler climes. Bouchaine's is a delightful combination of red fruit-strawberry, raspberry-like flavors--with just enough earthiness to keep it interesting." --Michael Apstein, Wine Review Online 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, June 2007 “87 POINTS! Outgoing elements of ripe black cherries are accented here by a light touch of dried herbs and careful oak spice in both scent and flavor, and, if never less than fully ripe, this moderately rich wine runs to firmness rather than fat in structure.” 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in WineReviewOnline by Patrick Comiskey, July 31, 2007 "Wines that Move Me" story "91 POINTS! Elegant and vinous, tethered to the earth. Part of that earthiness is the result of the whole-cluster pressing that I detect in the wine's aroma. The wine leads with tea-like scents and spicy dark fruit, almost to the depth of plums. On the palate it's elegant and reserved, old school in the best way, with a lovely texture and, at a mere 13.5% alcohol, admirable restraint." "...the Bouchaine Pinot [was] classic, and there was much to appreciate. While I enjoyed [it] immensely, probably more than the new school wines, it was [its] restraint that I was appreciating; what was left out, rather than what was put in. What I really wanted at the end of the day were wines that fell in the middle of old and new school--a new new school, where the flavors are at once vibrant and restrained." 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Appellation America by Catherine Fallis, August 3, 2007 "Bright, lightly saturated ruby with crimson highlights and fairly viscous, this highly-perfumed wine intoxicates the senses with sultry berry-patch, countryside, sea spray, deep forest, scrub, and garrigue notes. It is classic Pinot Noir on the nose and on the palate. Round and smooth, the fruit is ripe, as in height of season raspberries and cherries."2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Colorado Wine News, July-September 2007 "opens with smoke, earth, blackberry, black raspberry, and black cherry which repeat as flavors...light tannin and finishes long and medium-broad."2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Sprig.com "Rich flavor layers of cherry and berry are complemented by a touch of earthiness and hint of orange peel." Sprig.com 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in About.com - Online Wine Guide "The Bouchaine Pinot Noir a delightful red wine, with plenty of blackberry and cherry fruit to greet you. There is a smokiness that surrounds the palate and an earthiness that grounds the tannins and offers foundation for the structure. Nicely balanced, with an opulence that exceeds the price and a fine finish. You'd be hardpressed to find a food that this wine would not complement." 2005 vintage Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir in Burghound Report and Burghound.com by Allen Meadows "88 POINTS! Pretty and perfumed nose, combines red and blue berry fruit aromas plus notes of violet and none of the vegetal character that sometimes pervades the typical Carneros pinot. The slightly earthy middle weight flavors possess a silky texture and good volume on the nicely persistent finish. This is really quite stylish and should drink well young." |
