Apaltagua Pinot Noir 2010 (about $11)






About the Wine:  Chilean wine country is divided up according to its valleys.  I have had wines from Maipo and Colchagua valleys and the taste varies noticeably by region.  This is my first Tricao Valley wine, so it is a learning experience for me.

About THIS Wine:  A pink rim surrounds a garnet center.  Sour cherry is prominent on the nose along with, oddly, the smell of roast duck.  The sour cherry is sharp and strong on the palate, followed by a spicy finish.

Drinking This Wine:  A good sipper for anyone who likes sour drinks.  This wine would also make a good pairing with roast duck.

Overall Impression:  The wine is decent and the price is low.  This is good for the price.
