Nose a mix of cherry and cough syrup, distant forest floor. Juice colored red. Taste of strong cherry, pepper, citrus. Drinkable... that’s all I can say about this one.

Somewhat cloyingly sweet and at the same time sour-nearly bitter, upon opening. Disagreeable for the first two hours. However with some time in the glass produced notes of cherry cola, menthol, grape seeds and blood/rust. Makes me think that with some bottle age this could come around. I did however enjoy the energetic, lively mouthfeel of this wine, something you’ll often get with Chilean Pinot. The wine does have personality which is more that you can say for you typical grocery store California/Oregon $20 Pinot. Still for me hard to get past a sort of synthetic candied sweetness that unfortunately is found too often in these new world Pinots. At least this opened up to some interesting secondary flavors with time...85 with potential upside with bottle age

Medium ruby. On the nose medium + intensity of toast, smoke, red cherries, strawberries. On the palate the wine is dry with medium plus acidity, medium fine ripe tannins, high alcohol, medium body and medium plus flavor intensity of toast, smoke, red cherries, strawberries. The finish is medium plus and pleasing but not layered. The wine is good demonstrating intensity and some length on the finish. However, the wine lacks balance and complexity. It is an obviously oaked Pinot with ripe fruit, easy drinking style.

This was terrible. Poured down the drain guess a big name producer couldn’t save this wine.

Brash and fresh, good color, very under developed vague Pinot. Keep looking

Served blind. Lightly colored, with a stinky, reductive aromatic. Fruity and juicy, easy to drink but simple, with a spicy cinnamon candy finish.

PnD.
Cherry with a salty mineral note cinnamon sassafras beets and plums on the nose.
Crunchy cherry beet tops cola and plum on the palate.
Delicious real and great value.
