Grape

Pinot noir

Origin
The grapes used for this wine come from the north west of the Casablanca region, where the cool sea breezes provide perfect growing conditions for Pinot Noir. Unlike most wines, naturally occuring yeasts on the grape-skins begin the fermentation, usually yeast is added.
Taste
Highly aromatic yet very subtle in style the fruit aromas show violets and spice which are backed up on the palate by great concentration and soft ripe tannins.
Enjoy
This amazing Pinot Noir is drinking beautifully now, and will age gracefully over the next 4 years. Try with roasted lamb.

    I won't be buying any more

    I usually like Errazuriz wines, but not this. Nowhere near as fruit forward as most new world Pinot and not as fruity as suggested by the aromas. Some sour cherry and a lot of leather, and quite acidic in the mouth. Whilst I'm glad I tried it, it just wasn't to my taste at all and I'm glad I only bought one bottle. I served it lightly chilled and didn't decant.

    Reductive

    This wine is faulty: I have opened three bottles and they've each been spoiled by strong reductive notes. I normally expect some reductive notes from screw capped wines, but these notes for this wine never blow off and so the wine remains spoiled. Each of the bottles has also been far too full and it's therefore less surprising that the reductive notes are so intense. I've triple and quadruple decanted, waited a day, left the bottle open for 24 hours etc and just won't go away. M

    Nice finish

    Easy to drink. A bit sweet on the palate, but well balanced with nice finish.
