Both elegant and vibrant, this Pinot Noir from Chile’s huge, high-altitude Gualtallary region located in the Uco Valley is both delicious and food friendly. Produced from organic Pinot Noir Grapes, the wine is an inviting light red color. It offers pleasant earthy aromas and flavors calling to mind strawberries, raspberries and cherries, as well as a suggestion of olives and just a touch of vanilla. A nicely acidic edge helps keep everything balanced on the palate. The region’s well-drained stony soils play a role in the overall health of the grapes, as do the cool nighttime temperatures.
