The vines for this wine grow in the southernmost region of Mendoza, which has the cool climate needed to create balanced, quality pinot noir. Incredible Pinot for the money: you simply will not get a better tasting pinot at this price. Grab a case or five. Lovely fleshy ripe cherries. New World style. There's vanilla smoke, spice and blackberry on the finish. Try it with roast chicken for a juicy combination.

Reviews and Ratings

The fruit for this was sourced from vineyards in the southernmost reaches of Mendoza, where the cooler climate allows for Pinot Noir to shine. Dark fruit accented by light oak notes, spice and a lifted floral component. Fresh, light and juicy with sour cherry and peppercorn spice. Source: Vintages Wine Ratings and Reviews, Nov. 2013
