2010 Cono Sur Pinot Noir (Valle Central, Chile)
16 August 2011
As much as I love wines that are challenging, that evolve and change from year to year, or that are just plain weird, I also appreciate the ones that are consistent. The wines that, when my wallet is begging for a reprieve from summer festivals, remain cheap yet tasty.
Enter Cono Sur Pinot Noir. This wine was one of the first great values I discovered as a wee wine shop lass, and it has stayed a great value for almost a decade now. It’s only 12 bucks and you can find it pretty much everywhere.
It’s a big glass of simple strawberry fruit and tangy acidity, with none of that earthy Pinot funk which I adore, but which I also don’t want to sniff every day.
Cono Sur Pinot, don’t ever change.
