Touch of smokeiness. Clay on grainte, a touch of oak for used French oak barrels. So I would guess the smoke is not reductive but rather the terroir of Argentina. Herb and smoke, rosemary, meaty.

Doesn't taste like Chilean Pinot on the cheap, which is probably a good thing.

This wine is very up front, no skeletons in it's closet . Bright cherry kisses , hints of lush strawberry and slight oak. This wine is incredibly drinkable . The experience of drinking it is like falling in love for the first time ; it happens all at once and without hesitation.

(Tasted at Vino, Hollywood, Florida). I am really not a fan. This 100% Pinot tastes and looks like fruity sangria. The wine has a Kool Aid red color and a nose of candied cherries. It tastes jammy with Strawberries and cherries, and just a hint of oak. It is very smooth and light bodied with very little finish. It is missing the earthiness and darker fruit, that I associate with Pinot Noir.

A nice light, easy drinking Pinot noir. It has a nice mineral component plus a slightly sour cherry finish. And the price is very reasonable.

I guess I get the smokey cherries in the bouquet as that seems to be an apt description. The color is definitely a light ruby, even a pale cherry red. On the palate, it has a little sour cherry and a nice minerality on the finish.

Clear, pale ruby, tangy, lightly earthy autumnal cherry notes. Really expressive and real wine for the money.

Spicy and reductive. Should be in the future hip stir and european wine makers. But right now, just Pinot.

Smoked cherries on the nose. Mineral and tart finish. A little oxy might help it along a little bit Bill notes. Works at $15 or so.

Really nice wine. Was a bit surprised at the depth and layers this had. All the typical Pinot characteristics were there with a strong showing of ripe red fruits. Had it with some duck which really hit the spot. The bottle disappeared very quickly leaving us wanting more which is always a great sign. Would buy again. Great value.
