ABOUT THIS WINE:
Piedra Gana Tijeras (P.G.T)
Pinot Noir
Our experts love great Pinot Noir, and there are a few notes that really stand out the first time you try a Chilean Pinot. On the first sip, there’s the usual red fruit: pomegranate and cherries. But there’s also something else that is harder to place that has a cooling effect. We call this minty-fresh flavor eucalyptus, and it is a very typical note in Pinot Noirs that come from Chile. These flavors, the medium body, and the lively tannins make this a fun wine to explore before and with dinner. Try it with roasted lamb and grilled vegetables for the best effect. Judges love it too! It took home a gold medal the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

WINE REGION:
Chile
In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
