Chacra Barda

During the holidays, I’m always on the hunt for a good new world Pinot Noir. While I love a fabulous French burgundy (when I can afford it), I recognize that there are other fabulous expressions of Pinot Noir that come from different parts of the world besides the Cote d’or. Chacra Barda is a profound example of how Pinot Noir can shine when grown in Argentinian soil. If you’ve yet to try Argentinian Pinot Noir, this is a great place to start. I would say ‘don’t knock it until you’ve tried it’… but you’re definitely not going to knock this one.

ORIGIN

Patagonia, Argentina

Grapes

Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

Smooth with dusty berry, plum, caramel and spice aromas and flavors, this Pinot Noir culminates in a composed and satisfying finish.

Food Match

Pairs well with roast beef, salmon, swordfish and pastas with meat or seafood sauces.
