Wapisa has made a textbook cold-climate Pinot Noir. Their vineyard, located just 25 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, benefits from the coastal breezes that moderate the growing temperatures. The climate, in turn, allows the grapes to develop complex flavors while retaining their acidity. This wine presented rich red fruit, textbook underbrush, and an intriguing lightly-sweet red bell pepper note. It captured my imagination and will certainly drive me to enjoy more Patagonia Pinot Noirs. I hope you enjoy the same experience.
