Really beautiful wine in a sort of workhorse kinda way. What I mean is that if you like ripe fruit and new worldy wines, this pinot is for you. I love this style of wine. It's tasty and fun without getting anything like too serious. (And some burgundy lovers will hate it precisely for that reason.) Cherry, raspberry, and plum on the nose leads to deliciousness on the palate. Very limited earth and spice and a surprisingly long finish round out this impressive wine. And, just in case it needs saying, the QPR on this wine is amazing.)

OK Pinot... Nice, classic nose has black cherry, minerals, and some mint and eucalyptus. Palate has decent fruit, but tannins and acidity are out of balance. Finish is shortish...

Popped and poored. Ruby color. A bit of barnyard or broccoli funk and grass on the nose. A bit harsh and acidic at first. Light medium body. Needed at least 30 minutes to open up. Tart cherry, very mild earthy wood undertones. Nice finish. Better than many Pinot's in this price range but not excellent either. Will try whats left the next day.

Dark ruby with a faint aromas. Medium body with good food acid. Red cherry and cranberry mingle with a touch of caramel. Good overall balance and varietally correct.

Dark color with strong alcoholic noise. Harsh, acidic, and sharp that mellowed with some airing, but not enough to save it. Similar to the Merlot I had from this producer, I thought it was overrated.

Easy drinking, bit rubbery with mushrooms and old school cola like you used to get from the milkman (bitter and a bit medicinal), nice enough but nothing special. Got a bit richer after being opened for a while.

The aroma of toffee covered leather with flavors of earth, black pepper, toffee and vanilla. I don't usually like South American Pinots, but I loved this one. It match perfectly with our mushroom and zucchini quiche. Despite loving it, I think it could over oaked for some.

This wine became much more integrated on the third night after being drunk slowly. restrained, but elegant and well worth the price. Other new world pinot usually have teh candy problem, this one didn't and maybe that is why I am giving it a higher score.

{ST} Color medium red with black hue, light-medium body, clear. Nose of pine, bark, smoke, and raspberry cherry fruit. Moderate intensity flavors of red seed fruits, earth, tobacco, and oak. Low-medium acidity, soft tannins, relatively short length. Not offensive but also nothing here to get me excited. Just another pinot noir that drinks exactly at its price point of 15.

Nice nose of pine, smoke, and red and purple berries, particularly raspberries; a bit of acidity, nice fruit, moderate tannins, and a pretty good finish, ending with tobacco and broccoli notes. Very good as a pop and pour, but didn't improve much after an hour or so in the glass. Still, pretty tasty p.n. for the price.

Pretty decent. On the luscious side of the pinot noir spectrum - this is no grassy austere Oregonian lightweight. Hard candy, blood orange, and a fair amount of heat. Ready to drink.

Pinot is young and still needs some time. When you first open it up it is closed off without a lot of fruit flavors and some nice earth. Even after running it through the Vinturi and letting it sit for another 30 min a little bit of strawberry and raspberry came out, but the wine was still very hot. Has potential for being a great bottle of wine down the road.

I often question the Argentines use of of the term Reserva. They seem to apply it to everything. The first 15 minutes were great but then some disappointment kicked in. I purchased this bottle duty for $14 free in Buenos Aires and planned on cellaring it for a few years, unfortunately I was dying for a pinot noir and cracked it open and quaffed 2 glasses with with cheese and olives.
Strawberries and Rasberries were both heavy on the palate.
85-88 With a benefit of the doubt going to its age and the fact that it wasnt accompanied by food. Would try again.

Decent hardier pinot for the money but doesn't hold up long or even under vacuum overnight.

Pinot Planet (Murphy's): Dense ruby. Rich, smoky, spicy nose. Black cherry, cola, mushroom. Good structure. I liked this one.

Pop and pour. Cranberry nose with some pepper. Pretty spicy flavors with some fruit. Finishes with some mild tannins and vanilla. Pretty basic Pinot.

Not impressive, but tasty. Lacked great Pinot Noir character. Many of the PNs out of Oregon have greater balance and flavor.
