CAELLARTRACKER RAVES ABOUT
HUDSON-CHATHAM BACO NOIRS
BACO NOIR RESERVE CASSCELS VINEYARD 2009
Tasted by Jason Rzutkiewicz on 4/17/2011 & rated 87 points: (11.5%) My first Baco Noir sampled as part of a #TasteNY event this one comes from 15-20 year old wines. Ruby to pure red on edges, cranberry, plum and spice on the nose. Smooth & juicy with light red fruit and a touch of forest floor flavors before a sour, tart acidity kicks in leading to a peppery finish. While some vanilla and oak is present this one isn’t over oaked and shows nice balance. A soft and approachable wine that made my introduction to Baco Noir an enjoyable one.
BACO NOIR OLD VINES 2009
Tasted by Jason Rzutkiewicz on 4/17/2011 & rated 89 points: (12%) My second Baco Noir of the #TasteNY event this one comes from 60 year old wines and is darker hued. It immediately shows more depth on the nose and palate. Fruit is a bit richer with black sour cherry notes with soft, earthy forest floor undertones. Acid less but still lively. Given the persistent acidity this one has a nicer mouthfeel than one might expect. As with the “Reserve” the oak is well managed. A fresh, nuanced offering with a nice tang on a finish that linger shortly with gentle tannins. Make sure you are paying attention or you'll get some surprise sediment on the bottom like I did. If you’ve never had Baco Noir and are keen to try new things, like me, this is a well spent $19 bones…
