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. 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.
