2023 Chacra Pinot Noir Lunita (750ml)

Founded in 2003 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, Bodega Chacra is crafting exceptional Pinot Nor and Chardonnay in unique terroir of the Río Negro region of Patagonia, Argentina. Utilizing un-grafted vines dating back to 1932, Piero, with the help of Burgundy legend, Jean-Marc Roulot, has created a winery that exists outside of the usual New World vs. Old World debate and is redefining what is possible with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Southern Hemisphere.98 points: "Incredibly perfumed with violets and white flowers, followed by raspberry, cherry and strawberry flavors. Sliced lemon rind notes with mineral and fine wet sand undertones. Medium-bodied with fine tannins that run the length of the wine and give a beautiful, rather endless finish. Planted in 1945. Only 2 hectares. Best Lunita ever. Drink or hold.” - James Suckling (1/24)
