Cono Sur 2020 "20 Barrels" Pinot Noir

The Cono Sur 2020 "20 Barrels" Pinot Noir is an elegant and voluptuous wine that showcases the finesse of Chile’s coastal terroir. Sourced primarily from the San Antonio Valley with a small portion from the oldest Pinot vines in Casablanca, it presents a bright ruby hue and a complex aromatic profile. Notes of sour cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and plum mingle with subtle hints of leather, smoke, and toasted sesame. The palate is fresh and juicy, supported by vibrant acidity and soft, lingering tannins. Aged for 14 months in a mix of French oak barrels and foudres, it offers generous spice and a smoky undertone that adds depth. This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with duck, tuna, mushroom-based dishes, soft cheeses like brie, and fresh salads with red fruit sauces, where its fruit-forward character and savory complexity shine.
This vintage received a solid 90 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, which praised its freshness and structure despite the ripe 14.5% alcohol, noting it as a transitional year for the wine as it shifts fully to San Antonio fruit in future releases. Its combination of New World vibrancy and traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques has earned it recognition as one of Chile’s standout Pinot Noirs, offering impressive value and sophistication.
