Pizzorno Family Estates, Uruguay (Uruguay) Pinot Noir 2011

 This is a good wine that will become even better in a year or two, as it was bottled a bit too early and shows a slightly reductive aromatic character.  You can get that to blow off if you aerate it aggressively now, but the wine should really be laid down for a year or two and permitted to come into its own.  It will reward patience with fresh fruit recalling red cherry and strawberry and impressively delicate character–rather than the chunky texture that afflicts so much Pinot at this price level.  This is only the fifth vintage of this wine, making it one to watch for the future.
