Los Carneros Pinot Noir is unique because depending on the producer the wines can achieve full ripeness and be soft and fruit driven or can provide compelling, Old World-like acidity, lending themselves to a wide variety of pairings, including those with pork, duck or mushrooms.

In my experience, one of the best older-vintage Napa Valley wines is the Silver Oak 1982. It expresses an exceptional impression, elegant with lots of layers and a well-balanced dry fruit character and mushroom earthiness. The flavors of this wine are on par with renowned Old World wines.
