Pinot Noir

Origin
This wine comes from Viña San Pedro, an estate founded in the town of Molina in 1865. It is now one of Chile's largest wine producers, with vineyards throughout the country's major wine-producing valleys. Winemaking is headed by Marco Puyo, formerly of Errazuriz.
Taste
Light and vivid ruby red. Summer berry, cherry and plum aromas dominate the nose, with subtle toasty oak embellishment. Silky and fresh on the palate, with bright fruit and a lingering finish.
Enjoy
Enjoy now or in up to 4 years' time. Pair with lamb or duck.

    Cooking wine

    Bland disappointment, substantially lacking. Put to use as cooking wine and quickly opened another bottle for guests. One to avoid

    Not bad for the price

    Well Dr Fabio, I don't think it's anything like as bad as you make it sound. No, it's not the finest Pinot Noir available, but at the price, it's pretty fair and definitely quite drinkable for day to day sipping. Yes, there's a bit of pepper there, and I would have liked more cherry and strawberry, but it's definitely worth more than one star.....

    Surprising - but not in a pleasant way!

    Didn't like this one. I expect a pinot noir to be soft and smooth and juicy, but we found this one to be quite strong and peppery. If I hadn't known better I would have assumed it was a shiraz - and not a tasty one at that. Not sure if it was a particularly strong wine but it left us both with a headache. Not drinkable at all (for us, anyway).
