Pulenta Estate, Pinot Noir 2008, from Alto Agrelo a thumb up value


Pulenta Estate, Pinot Noir 2008, By Bodegas y Viñedos Hugo y Eduardo Pulenta, USD 22
A thumb up PN from Alto Agrelo District in Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza. Round and delicate red with thin ripe blackberries and red cherries but preserving the correct direction for Pinot Noir. Only a toach of a chocolaty note. It´s straight and attractive keeping balance all the time, from the soft red lucent color to the delicate and even passage through the palate. A 90 points PN nicely expressing Alto Agrelo terroir and Pinot Noir at the same time. Not a complex PN although good enough for an above premium red.
