Drinking Window: 2022 - 2030
Salentein has been experimenting with Pinot Noir for some time, with the best results coming from its vineyard in San Pablo, a cold part of the Uco Valley 1,400m above sea level. There, Jorge Cabeza and Gabriela García produce this refined wine, which boasts a nose of wild cherries and strawberries, allspice and gunpowder. In the mouth, it’s tacky and fresh with subtle tannins that make for a lovely, easygoing finish.
