This tiny production Chilean Pinot Noir is a RIDICULOUS value that majorly outperforms competitive wines in this price category. Fresh, earthy, and spicy, this Pinot delivers a wallop of bright sour cherry fruit and graceful notes of cinnamon and nutmeg on the finish. Produced in the Pirque region of the Maipo Valley by William Fevre, the famed producer of Chablis in Burgundy, in collaboration with the Pino-Arrigorriaga family of Chile. Super refined and pretty for a $12 Pinot!
