VENTISQUERO 2021 TARA PINOT NOIR, ATACAMA CHILE

VINOUS 94 POINTS - "The 2021 Pinot Noir Tara from Huasco, Atacama, was aged for 24 months, 50% in French foudres and the rest in concrete eggs. Ruby red in the glass. The clear, precise nose offers sweet and sour cherry with hints of cinnamon, herbs and raspberry against a complex backdrop of pastry aromas. Smooth and satisfyingly expressive with good tension and finely grained tannins. This is a dynamic red with a slightly saline profile and a slim, compact finish. An unusually austere Pinot Noir from the cool, sun-kissed coast." - Joaquin Hidalgo

JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "Savory, saline and minerally for a pinot noir. Full of character. Lovely precision and pinot transparency, showing red berries and blood oranges. Flavorful saline finish. 12,500 bottles made." Zekun Shuai
