The 2011 Bouchard Aine & Fils Heritage du Conseiller Pinot Noir Vin De Pays d’Ocbegins with pleasant aromas of red and black cherry, a little spice, a little mushroom and a hint of mint. The wine tastes light-bodied with good acidity and soft tannins. Black cherry, a little licorice and other spice and a nice earthy streak are the primary components of this tasty, very easy to drink wine. It ends dry with good length and a bit of toasty oak on the finish.
