A delicious Argentine red wine from the Valle de Uco region in Argentina

but dense and structured—certainly a more masculine Pontet-Canet built for long-term ageing

J. Christopher Medici Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 Rutini Encuentro Shows good intensity and focusParts of the vineyard date back to the mid 1970s, and this shows the warm, rather delicate scents and accents that old vines may bring. Pretty rose petals and raspberries are in the mix, with balancing but unobtrusive acidity. Any new oak (not listed) is also kept in check to let the vines tell their story unencumbered. 92 Pts Wine Enthusiast
