Happy Friday Wine Lovers!For today's Wine Finder Friday, we travel to the distant land of Chile for a Pinot Noir that's a true sleeper. This $11 selection produced by Concha y Toro - marketed as Casillero del Diablo - is a real surprise for Pinot Noir under $20.
Pinot Noir - A delicate fruit
You may be aware that the pinot grape is a very delicate and tough fruit to grow. It loves cool weather and rocky soil. Due to the challenges growing great pinot, it often costs well above $20 to taste its true brilliance...and that's what makes this selection a great find. Pinot Noir is famous for its light red, light body and mild acidity - a perfect first step into the world of red wine for cautious white wine generalists.
Casillero del Diablo is aged in French Oak for 8 months and features soft tones of chocolate, coffee and mixed fruit.
Pinot Noir is notorious for being food friendly, so drink and enjoy it with everything!
It's Friday...so raise your glass and enjoy!
