Cruz Alta
Grand Reserve Pinot Noir
Clear garnet red. Inviting nose and medium-bodied palate of black cherry cobbler and woodsy earth. Medium plus-ish acidity makes up for the next to no tannins. Argentina’s high altitude vineyards prove to be ideal for a uniquely Southern Hemisphere style that’s great as a casual sipper or with cheeses, but serves equally well as a meal accompaniment. Enjoy with pork, vegetarian dishes, lighter cuts of beef, or the classic salmon (I’m having Atlantic). Drink now or next year.

Mar 25th, 2017More acidic than I am use to in a Pinot Noir. First time drinking one from Argentina. I would much rather have had a Pinot from California or France.

Mar 5th, 2018Dark for a pinot noir. Very earthy and good hints of spice on top of dark red fruit. Nice raspberry finish with easy tannins. Medium bodied.

Feb 4th, 2017Very neat - framboise and boysenberry nose, light to medium dark stone fruits mingling step by step with the focused acidity. A delightful classic Pinot tango.
