($30): Bouchaine Vineyards specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, grapes that thrive in cooler climates, because of their location in the Carneros region.  Carneros spans the southern parts of both Napa and Sonoma and is cooled by influences from the San Pablo Bay.  Typical of Carneros Pinot Noir, Bouchaine’s rendition has a lovely delicacy and finesse, and avoids the over-ripe pitfall that can smother the complexity of Pinot Noir. 88 Michael Apstein Jan 29, 2008
