El estilo profile
Argentine Pinot Noir is pale in color and light on its feet — the opposite of a brooding Malbec. Expect aromas of red cherry, strawberry and raspberry, often lifted by floral notes of dried rose petal and, in the more complex examples, a savory hint of truffle or forest floor. On the palate it is delicate and fresh, with bright acidity and fine, silky tannins. From the stoniest, highest or coolest sites it gains that distinctive mineral, wind-blown tension that sets the best apart.
It is worth saying plainly: Argentina is still early in its Pinot journey, still discovering what its own Pinot Noir really is. That is exactly why it is fun to drink now — you are tasting a country figuring something out in real time.
