Luca ,Pinot Noir 2006 vintage, an atypical Pinot with no attraction


Luca, Pinot Noir 2006, By Luca Winery Altos de Mendoza, USD 40
A Pinot Noir from Gualtallary district of Tupungato Departament in Uco Valley.
A black cherries and berries based Pinot with tons of chocolate. This high altitude Tupungato vineyard may give this kind of typicity that departs from the usual. Just a good red with a fine oak complement, altough not a very good pinot. I didn´t catch any flaw or fault and the cork was fine.
An 89 points red expensive and not worth half the price paid.
