The light red, see-through color on this pinot from Mendoza (Argentina) tricks you into thinking it’s going to be one of those wimpy, light-and-breezy pinots that do have their time and place, but you tend to avoid when you’re in the mood for a nice full body.
It smells of a barrel full of cherries and tastes like plums all over the place. Then – SMACK – this wine is robust, full-bodied, complex and balances the fruit with the tannins and the spice – it’s freakin’ awesome! Long-ass finish and you’re like “Way to round it out, Alfredo!”
Love your stuff so far.
Want to buy case of Alfredo Roca Pinot Noir. Live on TX. Can you give me a price?
