Alfredo Roca • Pinot Noir

Country: Argentina 
Region: Mendoza 
Varietal: Pinot Noir 
Vintage: 2011 
Body: medium  
Alcohol: 13%

This bolder style Pinot Noir is from Argentina, but it sure acts like a Californian (cue the Beach Boys’ “California Girls”, or even David Lee Roth’s campy cover, if that’s your thing).  
We get touches of vanilla and spice on the nose.  The palate has pretty red and dark berry fruit with nice earthy spice, toasted oak adding weight and structure, with medium firm tannins on the finish.  Give a touch of air and a light chill if you’re able.
