Bodega Chacra's two other Pinot Noirs, Treinta y Dos and Cincuenta y Cinco, sell for over $100 per bottle. Barda, which sells for about 1/3 as much, is the estate's "second wine." It is made from declassified lots of the first two wines, blended with production from younger vines, to produce a more fruit-forward and readily accessible version of the first two. Deep ruby in color with garnet lights at the rim, the 2009 Barda opens with a bouquet of roses, ripe red berries, and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, Barda is smooth and supple, with a subtle denseness that belies its seemingly easy-going fruit. Although enjoyable now, Barda can be cellared for 3 to 4 years. Pair it with grilled duck, pan-seared salmon, veal, or hanger steak with pommes frites. |
