Errazuriz Max Reserva Casablanca Valley Pinot Noir 2017 750ml

Pinot Noir from Aconcagua Valley, Chile

Notes from the Winemaker

Beautiful cherry red color. Aromas of cherries, raspberries, and rose hips are complemented, with soft touches of tobacco and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is juicy, predominated by red fruit character and is accompanied by delicate balsamic notes. A wine of great balance, structure, elegant tannins, and length.

Reviews and Accolades

92 Points/James Suckling
Hibiscus, bright violets, blueberry tea, Chinese spices and herbs. Medium body, tight yet never firm tannins that frame a crunchy core of blue fruit up to a minerally, super-refined finish. Drink now.

90 Points/Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
I tasted three different labels of Pinot Noir, including the 2017 Max Reserva Pinot Noir from Aconcagua, a restrained red with moderate alcohol and very good freshness. After destemming and crushing, it fermented in stainless steel and then aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, 15% of them new. It has some iron-like aromas of fresh blood and red berries and a tasty, medium-bodied palate. 60,420 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2018.
