Continuing my reviews from the Chilean wine tasting, this is the only Pinot Noir from the lineup.
I’ve previously reviewed the Cono Sur Organic Pinot Noir and I liked that one, so I was looking forward to tasting another Pinot from the Cono Sur portfolio.
This Pinot is grown on old vines in a cooler part of the Colchagua Valley. It’s a little aggressive right out of the bottle, but mellows out to a smokey, bright cherry and raspberry nose after opening up. A couple of those tasting this wine were harsh on it, but I felt like they just didn’t give it a chance to open up. Strong acidity on the palate gives a sour cherry and apple flavor with raspberry coming in on the mid-palate. It has good structure and supple tannins. It might not totally knock your socks off, but it’s a great Pinot Noir for the price. I actually enjoyed this one even more the second day after tasting some other wines I found the acidity refreshing.

Nice review. The label is also attractive. I am always looking for great wines at a reasonable price. Wines that taste better on the 2nd day demonstrates good quality wine and winemaking.
