Amazing Pinot Noir, for sure dedicated to go to the cellar, it will only gain, soften up and rounds. I really liked it.More and more I like the vines from Leyda valley, the cooler and sophisticated part of Chile. This wine was made by Viviana Navarrete working in Vina Leyda. Excellent article was written about the appellation here.
