Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe Right Wave series references Leyda's coastal climate and the brighter, fresher wines that the marine influence typically yields. This screwcap pinot noir benefitted from generous air time in the glass, allowing the initial reductive notes to blow off and the tart cherry, earth, resin, cranberry flavours to come through. Smooth tannins make this an approachable pinot, particularly with a root vegetable, casserole or pasta.Tasted: 18 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:
