Tasting:
Bright ruby color with delicate aromas of strawberrys and roses. Light bodied and supple with soft red Pinot Noir wine Bio-Bio Valley berry flavors. There is a pleasing tart cherry note that really ounds out the flavor. The mouth feel is very elegant for such an inexpensive wine. For some reason the shape of a diamond comes to mind when I think of the flavor of this wine. This is the first Pinot I’ve drink for under $20 that I want to buy again. Luckily my random around the corner liquor store has a few bottles.

*****Hisrory - Story*****
This Pinot Noir are from Bio-Bio Valley which is considered one of the most southern regions in Chile. Because of it’s cool climate, Pinot seems to do well along with Sauvignon Blanc.Vina Porta was established in 1954 by the Gutierrez family who arrived from Spain and it evolved into one of the first boutique wineries in the area. After a larger company acquired the winery in 1997, the winery developed a plan to utilize the different growing regions and plant accordingly to the terroir. This includes the Aconcagua, Maipo, Rapel and Bio-Bio valleys. Among the grapes planted are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Carmenere, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Pinot Noir. This bottle I drank is grown at the Negrete Estate Vineyard.
