Salentein Reserva, Pinot Noir 2006, By Salentein Wines, USD 15
Nice Pinot from Uco´s Valley in Mendoza. Not a great terroir for pinot noir though. Nice sour red and black fruits with nice initial palate and soft smoky finish. Notes of mint and eucalyptus unusual for PN and typical for Uco´s Valley. Not very typical for what we expect from a traditional PN. A red for cellaring 6-8 years to get some terciary stuff some people may enjoy the most. I´d say a 86 points red with good value relation to price. Look for Primus Pinot Noir By Salentien Wines coming up soon. The `icono´ wine for this grape´s variety and terroir.
