Costero Pinot Noir 2019

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most noble and beloved reds, but it’s also one of the most difficult to grow. The grapes need an ideal, cool climate and careful attention in the vineyard to thrive. And this fine Reserva benefitted from both.

Considered one of the country’s top 10 winemakers, superstar Viviana Navarrete is “on a mission to produce Chile’s best cool-climate wines,” writes Wine Enthusiast. She works her magic in the premium Leyda Valley, which gives her a serious advantage in the vineyard ...

Located just eight miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, the Leyda Valley is perfectly sited for producing brilliantly vibrant reds. The region benefits from bright sunshine (a key ripening factor), as well as the cooling influence of morning fog and the Humboldt Current, which help preserve freshness. These conditions make for a long growing season, giving Viviana’s grapes plenty of time to develop complex flavors.

Inspired by the nearby Pacific, Costero (‘coastal’) Reserva delivers waves of ripe cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and earthy spice notes. It’s lighter in style (think the classic elegance of France, rather than the juicy Pinots of California) and makes a refreshing red-wine aperitif. It’ll also be delicious with tuna steaks, roasted turkey, grilled chicken, and more.

Viviana’s lovely Reserva will be a great-value alternative for fans of pricey Burgundy. Order your share today and prepare to sip in style.
