Casablanca has good Pinot Noirs that achieve varietal expressions such as this one, with its complex aromas, rose petals, forest herbs, earth and cherry and a hint of animal hide. The entrance is full of flavor and the aftertaste is indulgent. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, March 2020)

Smells of green pepper, and slight baking chocolate.
A wonderful flavor of cacao dusted peppers, finessed tannins and low level acidity mingle with tart overtones. A classic Syrah from Chile,
in all the ways.
A few more years, and this would completely integrate.

Modern, juicy style, plenty of oak spice. 5 years of age under $20-can’t be beat!

I don't know, you guys. I mean, it's *fine* but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Ripe fruit and a cola-y flavor hit you right away, but there's a dill-like note on the finish that sits awkwardly on the palate, to my taste. Maybe having this after a Hamilton Russell was part of the problem.

Another Chilean Pinot Noir that makes me pause. Gulpable, savory, balanced...black plum, black currant, underbrush, smoke, tar. Full on sexy.

Dark dark cab color. Prune, raisin nose smoky-medicinal edge. Light tannins, tart berry not overly dry or sweet. Would hold up to hearty meals and yet great on its own.

Big, hot, awkward, bit syrupy, too ripe perhaps. But not undrinkable

Tonight's tasting: Pinots from around the world. Group ranked 2 of 5. Fruity big and bold with ripe cherry and cola. The group would buy this again.
