2007 Cono Sur Pinot Noir


2007 Cono Sur Pinot Noir

This wine is straight out of Chile, a product of huge volumes and so relaible wines from vintage to vintage. The back of the bottle says that it is from the southern tip of Chile between the mountains and the ocean.

It has a great pinky red crimson colour and smells fruity and floral. Unlike our NZ Pinots it is less full bodied and is much less earthy. The younger age will also encurrage the frirty lightly sweet flavours which are present.

It punches above its weight, costing only $15 and could beat many of New Zealands lower price mass produced Pinots. Will buy again to have around the house for everyday drinking. It went well with carpet cleaning yesterday, even managed to not spill any on the freshly cleaned floors
