Black raspberry, minerals, and mushrooms. This is a very nice bottle of wine, a Chilean gem in the world of Pinot.

This is a great little Pinot! Dark cherry plum and smoky sandalwood and rose nose, brimming with licorice, tart cherry, dense and structured goose berries, raspberries, black currants. Typical of cab or merlot; really interesting in this. Plenty of acidity to soothe the savage palate. This isn't clumsy and manhandled, just very focused and flavorful.

For the ridiculously low price; this is a luscious 'sneak peak' at Byron Kosuge's signature extraction and juicy reputation. The story of the Kingston family is a buried treasure, and the 'Tobiano' Pinot Noir (named for the family's favorite horse on the ranch) is a delicious introduction to the gold that Grandpa Kingston could never have imagined, flowing freely from the Casablanca Valley, Chile.

Always nice. Dark cherries, good acidity. Bit of earthiness develops as it opens up

Nice light earthy taste. Flint and minerals are the signature notes of casablanca pinots. Beautifully balanced with berry fruits. Beautiful drinking.
