2007 Signorello Las Amigas Vineyard (Carneros) Pinot Noir. I'd be hard pressed to find a Signorello wine that I dislike. This was a wonderful Pinot Noir, with balanced, earthy, forest floor flavors, plenty of acidity, nice black cherry flavors. Only complaint might be it lacks what I consider Carneros typicite in that the cherry is BLACK cherry instead of the more common candied red cherry I've found. But, as I dislike that more typical flavor profile.....
Also...stopped at Bouchaine Winery in Carneros Monday afternoon. They had a KILLER Sonoma Coast (from near Petaluma, actually) Syrah that was full of bright, juicy fruit and delicious acidity. Maybe a tad richer than Northern Rhone, but not goopy or alcoholic in any way. Their Pinot Meunier bottling was quite nice as well...extremely silky.
