Otronia I Pinot Noir 2018
Patagonia, ArgentinaWe feel privileged to have an early look at the Bodega Otronia wines making their way to Canada. The vineyards of Otronia are located in Patagonia, the southernmost region of Argentina. Extreme is a word many use to describe Patagonia, wind-whipped most of the time and is about as cool as it gets when it comes to viticulture. The top-of-the-line pinot opens with a pale colour and an earthy, raspberry, forest floor nose similar to many Oregon labels. On the palate, the textures are silky smooth flecked with red cherry, a whiff of truffle, and floral notes in what is a long, complex finish with perfect acidity throughout, keeping it fresh. An impressive start for this label.Tasted: 09 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:CDN | $85.00 | 750ml | $85-$100 estimated retail |
