Light Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and herb cedar notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry with notes of cacao and earthy cedar toned. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, mineral and earthy character. Very nice value!!

I think this gets better every vintage. Patagonia Pinot noir is the real deal- especially at about 20$ on sale. Not a light affair, either, & could age

Cherry, tart plum, puppy breath. Good fungus mixed with bright fruits and touch of rose. Solid structure and fantastic deal.

I had to do a double take as previous vintage very different. 2018 seems the flavor profile has fit the rather svelte body. I typically recoil when I hear Burgundian to describe most wines but this has such a nice mix of fresh fruit and earthiness I am using it! A darker profile of red fruits and forest floor, can’t wait to taste in five years. Can drink now or hold. One of my fave regions in Argentina

A new region for Pinot noir for the fine wine world lots of potential for rio negra region of Patagonia these ungrafted vines were found and then the family purchased it. This is an old world style Pinot noir with a zesty spicy finish very savory. Dried floral highlights brown spice a very fresh and spiced finish with a good amount of fresh earth and truffle nuance. Old world Pinot noir from Patagonia. Finish 45+ excellent

Ahhh...Hello Pinot my old friend;
Scents of cherry to my nose you send;
Thoughts of Malbec are receding;
I’m getting that old feeling,
That wine from the old world is my thing,
No kidding.
Sipping my glass of Pinot.
