Central Valley, Chile - $12
Who doesn’t love Pinot Noir? It’s light enough to pair with fish, heavy enough to satisfy red wine drinkers but smooth enough to still be sexy. The only problem is most pinots start at $20 a bottle. Enter Chile’s Cono Sur.
In 1999, Viña Cono Sur set out to create the best Pinot Noir in Chile. Now their goal is to create a “world class” Pinot Noir. While the winery produces many high end wines, we can say, for $13, this baseline Pinot rules!
The wine is light to medium in body with flavors of cherry, raspberry and strawberry. This wine is perfect with grilled mushrooms, seared salmon or even sushi.
