2012 Bougetz Cellars Pinot Noir The Cairn - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (6/24/2014)
Opened and poured into a pinot glass, left to sit for approximately 30 minutes. Initially showed lots of tart red fruit - cherry, strawberry - before some more aromas developed. Black pepper, baking spice, and a touch of wood. Good balance. A little bit of heat was present too but with swirling, it went to the background. Smooth attack, bringing bright strawberry and raspberry at first, cherry develops later. Spicy mid palate with good tannin integration. Very pleasing acidity too. The finish is compact and clean, also a plus. Overall a wonderful pinot with several more years left.
