A friend of a friend of my wife asked me try to try this new production Pinot they are making. This is produced & bottled by Pellegrini Bros but is a new Pinot called P:4. Sour mid red fruits, raspberry candy and red florals on the nose. The palate is candied, ripe, juicy; black raspberries, black cherries, strawberries, cherries, cola, soft subtle sweet spices, cinnamon, just a hint of vanilla, limestone, soft crushed brown volcanic minerals, red fresh florals, nice acidity, good mouth presence, good balance and long shinny fruit finish. Drinks well very young. Surpassing my initial expectations. A wine to acquire and a wine to pay close attention going forward. $65 from the winery. It's a crossroads of CA Pinot & Burgundian style with a dominating CA side. 13.8% on the alcohol which is fairly reasonable in today's CA wine environment. — 8 years ago
Actually good. Pear, Apple, and lemon zest. A little creamy, and has a long finish. — 9 years ago

A delicious bouquet of strawberry, cranberry and watermelon with just a touch of rose petal. Juicy, crisp and incredibly elegant on the palate. Delightful flavors of raspberry and strawberry lead to juicy acidity a touch of minerality and citrus zest. The finish is long with clean acidity and touch more red fruit. — 9 years ago
A strong berry beginning with a toasted caramel finish. — 9 years ago
Just right. — 10 years ago
Wonderful! Tight on the onset, light, yet with unmistakable Cabernet quality of meatiness wrapped in beguiling earth earthiness. Can be cellared for several more years. Price? $25!!! — 10 years ago

V2013 really loved it! $40 btl at vineyard. Velvety, with a smooth finish. Good now or hold for 5-8 yrs. pair with mushroom risotto or braised pork belly ❤️ — 9 years ago
So good!! Opens up and even better!! Highly recommend! — 9 years ago
Seriously underrated. This is a nice example of what a Merlot CAN be. Much like what became the "Anything But Chardonnay" movement, Merlot was relegated to much the same caste. Open this, let it breathe, and you will be pleasantly surprised. — 9 years ago

This is a burly Mendozan to be sure! Big chocolate out of the gates! Torque, muscle, saddle leather, blackberry, dust. This is the derby! Each December the Hipódromo hosts the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini, the most important horse race in Argentina, and this year my money is on this dark horse. All 17$ of it. Crowd pleasing elements aside, there is a primal, and arcane element here despite its specious approachability. Deliciously deceptive. Plenty of acidity and nice earth notes. — 10 years ago
