2012 Boya Leyda San Antonio Valley Chile Pinot Noir
13.0% alc., 1,500 cases, $22, screw cap. Also
produced by the Garces-Silva family but from sections of the vineyard that are harvested earlier. Average age
of vines is 4 years. Aged 6 months in third use French oak barrels.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass.
Unpleasant aromas of stem, grass, and green pepper. On the palate, delicate red cherry and berry flavors are
featured underlain with a significant green herb and green bell pepper riff. Juicy, with nice balance and finesse,
but the unripe, vegetal flavors spoil the experience.
Score: 82.
