2007 De La Cain Chanconne Sonoma County Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., 75 cases, $50. Chanconne means slow dance in French. Sourced from 3 vineyards. · Aromas of super ripe fruit including roasted plum and black raspberries, with hints of maple syrup and cigar box. Explosion of intense, ripe dark fruit attacks the mid-palate with undertones of black tea and sassafras. Smoothly textured with modest tannins and admirable balance. A big-boned wine for hedonists that veers to the super ripe side. Reviewed July 9, 2009
