In the nose, one can find an aromatic intensity built around fresh strawberries and blackberries, plums and even apricots. On the palate there is a hint of mint and eucalyptus that mingles with the aromatic complexity of the wine. The structure is supple, velvety and long, and reveals a suavity that is typical of this variety in Chile.


(Check to print this review) 89 Points Great Value Wine Advocate , February 2012 The 2010 Hacienda Araucano Pinot Noir, notions of cherry blossom, raspberry, and strawberry are followed by a silky-textured wine with no hard edges. This nicely balanced effort has excellent varietal character and balance for its humble price. Readers who enjoy Pinot Noir should buy this great value by the case.

Spicy redcurrant and cherry aromas are complicated by notes of dried rose and pungent herbs. Firm and precise in the mouth, offering ripe red berry and cherry flavors and a hint of singed plum. Gains sweetness with air and finishes with good clarity and warm persistence. I'd like more energy but this shows good depth of fruit."

Very fruity and intense aromas of fresh mulberry and redcurrant. A few notes of spice, such as cloves. The entry into the mouth is round and voluptuous with very silky tannins and superb aromatic length. The fruit remains dominant, with notes of flowers.

The idea behind this wine is to preserve the variety's freshness and fruitiness. The result is a wine with a beautiful ruby robe and supple mouth leading to a delicately spicy finish. It is a wine that reflects the soul of the terroir, which harbors a wealth of potential for Pinot Noirs that is yet to be discovered!
