Reserva Especial Valle de Casablanca Pinot Noir

Geez these are bloody good drinks for the dollars. Picked this one up on special for $14 and WOWZERS it smashes any local Pinot under $20. This is a bigger expression of Pinot (think Central Otago) but has an amazing acid line and sour tinge that makes it just so slurpy it's kinda silly. Great wine... At this price, SENSATIONAL!

The nose on this Pinot is a little earthy and a lot dark cherry. On the palate it's mostly simple dark cherry. Although there is some acidity, there's not quite enough and it comes off just a touch flabby. I guess the summary is: simple but acceptable for the price.

This is a pretty decent bottle for the money.

Muddled with weird finish

prekrasan miris, dim, kozha - vrlo ekstraktno, jako - trpko i suho, kakako i cokolada, ali neuobicajeno za PN

Unusual, unlike any background flavors I've ever tasted in a Pinot Noir. Yes, the chocolate and the cacao with something else I can't pin down like cranberries but something different, anyway it's got a tart and a bite that isn't unpleasant but I would like try some other vintages.

2012 was much more fruity than the 2013 and needed more time to breathe. Was great with a hearty pork chop. Solid for the price.

Waoow. Nose amazingly reminiscent of Bourgogne pinot noir. Mouth on the sweet side though. Funny combination of classical pinot noir flavours pushed up by a sunny dimension.

Red fruit, spice, herbs. Easy finish.

Airy and cherry. That's how I'd describe it. Not a very bright Pinot noir
