Product details
Bouchaine Vineyards, the oldest continuously operating winery in Napa Valley’s Carneros region, traces its winemaking legacy back to the 1880s. Nestled in one of California’s most celebrated cool-climate appellations, Bouchaine embraces sustainable farming practices and small-lot vinification to bring out the purest expression of their estate fruit. The 2022 Bouchaine Estate Pinot Noir is a shining example of this commitment to craftsmanship. Winemaker Chris Kajani employs native yeast fermentation and ages the wine in French oak to build complexity while preserving the brightness and integrity of the fruit grown in Carneros’ fog-cooled vineyards.
The 2022 vintage opens with a tangy, fresh cherry nose that gracefully unfolds into aromas of cocoa, cola, and nutmeg. On the palate, juicy red cherry and wild strawberry take center stage, layered with subtle rose petal and warm baking spices. Smooth tannins and vibrant acidity deliver a lip-smacking entry and an elegant, food-friendly finish. This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with a wide array of dishes—from roasted duck and mushroom risotto to grilled salmon and soft cheeses. Its expressive aromatics and balanced structure make it equally suited for everyday enjoyment or refined gatherings.
