Ventisquero Queulat Gran Reserva Pinot Noir 2012

Garnet in color with lovely ristic varietal pinot noir nose. On the mid pallet the wine displays lovely soft red berries, strawberries and the like to match the nose. The wine is medium in length with some lovely rustic notes lingering in the mouth along with some acidity, some tannins and a hint of pepper. Quite a nice pinot noir. I would give it an 88-89 which for the price, it’s a bargain. If you like pinots this is a good one!

Queulat’s single-vineyard wines are grown in sites selected by winemaker Sergio Hormazabal and perfectly encapsulate the company’s unofficial motto: ‘We challenge the status quo, always searching for unique and different ways to accomplish our goal … to create Great Wines.’ Classic Pinot character with aromas and flavours of red cherry, beetroot, and earth, and the excellent Casablancan acidity.
