Padrillos, Pinot Noir 2010, a great high mendoza´s pinot noir

Padrillos, Pinot Noir 2010, By Ernesto Catena (siesta wines), USD 12

Elegant and self sustained PN from some high lands of Mendoza (previous vintages from Gualtallary district in Tupungato, kind of 1,300 mts/ 4,300 ft). Very attractive red cherries sour and ripe with dark sugar plenty of ripeness. Some plummy add quite nice. Little if any chocolaty or toasty notes. It impacts the middle palate and vanishes nicely. It may evolve into terciary age and grow interesting but I probably prefer it now young and juicy. A 90 points pinot noir getting maturity during the first 4-6 years. A great high Mendoza´s value. Most people would buy at least a case to follow through the years.
It reaches high quality and shares the oustanding future with Patagonian Pinot Noir
