A wonderful Pinot Noir from San Rafael Valley, South Mendoza
A fully expressed PN with ripe fruits and chocolate. It expresses nice tannins with wide palate and a mix of red cherrries and black berries. Beautiful balance mostly expressed on the palate.
Probably best 4-6 y/o. One of the greatest PN along the line of Uco´s and Patagonia´s juices. This time kind of in the middle: not so black fruit driven as uco´s nor red fruit driven as Patagonia.
A 91 point PN to enjoy plenty. A must to appreciate some PN differences in Argentina´s imprints.
