    Bouchaine 2012 Bacchus Collection Estate Vineyard Pinot Meunier (Carneros)

    Pinot Meunier is seldom bottled on its own. Vintners prefer to use it in sparkling wine blends. But Bouchaine is serious about it, and with this 100% varietal wine, has succeeded in producing a Pinot Noir-esque wine of great beauty. With some new French oak, it has a smoky edge to the raspberries and cherries, with savory hints of white pepper and cinnamon.
