Sean’s Take
Pros: Bright, clean, and dry. Cons: Strong alcohol flavour despite low alcohol level.
We labelled this as a Canadian wine, but the label makes that claim murky. It reads “International blend from imported and domestic wines“. Not grapes, not juice…wines. Suggests this is a blend of wines made in different places at different times then mixed together. Nothing wrong with that, but very difficult to make a compelling product.

Sean’s Take
Pinot Noir is a great alternative to bigger bold wines that can steal the show. I got the cherry flavours I was expecting and overall enjoyed this Pinot. A bit of ripe fruit or jam was missing which cost it the 4th star.
This wine is featured on The Wine Podcast for Everyone – Episode 5 Do you drink Red or White with that?
I really liked another Pinot from Cono Sur which I gave 4/5 stars and costs a couple of dollars less.

If you love Cherry Pie you’re going to love this wine. It’s interesting when an old school wine region (France) makes a new world style wine. You often end up with a one note wonder, like this cherry blaster. It did earn 3 stars because it’s a very well made wine that is fresh and juicy.

Pleasant surprise for a chilean Pinot Noir, delicate and robust at the same time. This wine is classic new world style pinot but lacks any of those artificial flavours that pop up sometimes. Could use a little bit of depth but at this price point that’s a minor flaw. Great medium bodied wine to enjoy with or without food.

When a wine delivers a text book example of the grape we sometimes call it “Correct”. This is a perfect example of new world Pinot Noir and is absolutely delicious. Lush juicy berries, jammy, hint of earth on the finish.
