This Pinot is very delicate with limited fruit or complexities. The grapes are sourced from the Domingo Vineyard (3,700 foot elevation) and Adrianna Vineyard (5,000 foot elevation). Watch this Pinot for future greatness.

Argentina is the largest wine producer in South America and the 5th largest in the world, with over 1,200 million liters (2003), and the 13th largest exporter in the world (USD431 million in 2005). Argentina probably produces the best Malbec. Ironically, in the 1980s, Argentina almost gave up on the grape through government vine pull schemes.
