Tasting - Padrillos Pinot Noir

Padrillos Pinot Noir 2018
Name:
Padrillos Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2018
Price: $10

Vintage Cellar Notes: "Bouquet of raspberries, cherries, strawberries, plum, violets, and coconut. The palate follows suit and is medium bodied with great balance and a decent finish, a hint of oak."

Wine Folly Notes: I got strong hints of raspberry and cherry on the nose, but only raspberry when tasting. I definitely agree with the medium body and low tannins. We also had it slightly chilled, as recommended. [WineFolly.com]

My Notes: For our third wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, we started venturing into red wines. We started with a classic, medium-bodied red: Pinot Noir. I immediately caught the familiar aromas of raspberry and cherry with a bit of oak or vanilla. Upon tasting, I was able to pick out the raspberry and slight oaky flavors with some plum, but not the cherry. I also noted medium body and low tannins, which is typical for a lighter red such as Pinot Noir.

I did not try this wine with food.
