Gourmets of Wine > Tasting Note: 1996 Carneros Pinot Noir, Saintsbury « The Wine Case

[The Wine Case] I haven’t bought any Saintsbury pinots, in recent years, but seeing that the alcohol levels are still reasonable (13.5% on the 2006 Carneros pinot noir) and that the use of wood is careful and moderate (9 months in French oak, 30% new, again for the 2006), I’d be enclined to give this wine another go. And to keep it for several years, no doubt.
