ONA Special Reserve Leyda Valley Pinot Noir
Leyda Valley, Casablanca Valley, Aconcagua, Chile
Gotta say, for being one of my first experiences with Chilean Pinot Noir, it was a pleasant one none the less. Very straight forward and to the point, and kind of earthy like their cabs, on both the nose and pallet, exhibiting luscious red berries, raspberries, and vanilla spice on the nose and pallet, and delightfully forgiving tannin. Still more a fan of Burgundian red, but I could get into these easily. Smooth drinking and lovely.

Bulkier than a lot of pinots. Deep texture and dark fruit. Ultimately still tastes like a cheaper Pinot tho.

Nice bouquet, reminiscent of fresh black fruit. On the palate it's lush red fruit with an astringent back note. Complex body, popping of fruit and prominent herbs.
