I’ll give any pinot a shot. Kinda tannic but cool

High elevation site and elevage entirely in concrete. Interesting stuff, reminds me more of new world Gamay than Pinot, but enjoyable for the low price and a nice companion for food.

Pretty strong effort in the under $15 Pinot Noir category, which is usually irrelevant. Surprises aromatically, with Bing cherry, rose petal, gravel, and a touch of herbs. Nicely penetrates the palate with the right acidity and a lengthy finish.

From the other night. Argentine hippies dance to the beat of a different drum.

Light ruby dress. Red fruits, cranberry, cherry. Alcohol 12 abv. Slightly smoked, mineral, undergrowth, coal. Sweet spices, cloves, black cardamom, cola. A PN that transcribes with purity and simplicity an altitude terroir with chalky basements expressing itself here in the form of a lively and sharp acidity with many facets, recalling in some aspects the Pinots-Noirs of Alsace. Simple, sincere, nuanced profile type "old world" very good quality/price ratio. To drink a little refreshed.

Robe rubis légère. Fruits rouges, canneberge, cerise. Alcool 12o. Légèrement fumé, minéral, sous-bois, charbon. Épices douces, girofle, cardamome noire, cola. Un PN qui transcrit avec pureté et simplicité un terroir d’altitude aux sous-sols crayeux s’exprimant ici sous la forme d’une acidité vive et tranchante aux multiples facettes, rappelant par certains aspects les Pinots-Noirs d’Alsace. Simple, sincère, profil nuancé type “ancien monde” très bon rapport qualité/prix. À boire un peu rafraîchi.

Opened it and had to let sit for awhile to breathe. It’s ok. Nothing something I’ll repurchase. Hard to taste the fruit over the alcohol. Pass.

Great for price point. Strong cherry on the nose and a slight peppery finish.
