Santa Rita Reserva Pinot Noir 2006

Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe first 100% Leyda bottling from 8 and 9 year-old vines. Look for an enticing spicy, licorice, black cherry, rootsy, smoky nose with vanilla, orange peel and floral aromas. Ripe, round, supple and fresh and all with elegance. There is fine acidity balance and the alcohol is managed quite well. Big black cherry jam, orange peel, compost, celery salt, licorice, and caraway flavours. Very New World but very pinot. Good concentration and finish with great fruit. The is terrific value pinot for current drinking. Buy this one by the case.
