Domaine Nico
Soeur et Freres Grand Mere Pinot Noir
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
2020 vintage, which it seems was a little uneven in Argentina (???). Very bright & light cherry in color. As mentioned in another (insightful) review regarding it, this is a high-altitude, light, bright, and earthy example of the grape. Expressive on the nose with great acidity on the palate. For its price (all-in with a $15 corkage we paid $46) we enjoyed all it brought to a wonderful meal @FatCanary, in Williamsburg.

Not a fan of the 37.5lb bottle. But what’s inside is super cool. Really elegant pinot w/ sour kirsch, cranberries, and nice little background funk. Great stuff.

This is a pleasant example of a high altitude, cool climate Pinot noir. Pale Ruby, high acidity, low tannins with lean and light intensity flavors of red cherry, cranberry, orange peel, black tea, and forest floor. It’s a zippy wine, very crisp and clean. I’d love a little more body but it is still a good value.
