Barda Patagonia Pinot Noir

perfume blending Mediterranean herbs, forest floor & wild berry patch ~ stewed cherries & raspberries leaning towards cola & birch beer

I think this gets better every vintage. Patagonia Pinot noir is the real deal- especially at about 20$ on sale. Not a light affair, either, & could age

Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and herb cedar notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry with notes of cacao and earthy cedar toned. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, mineral and earthy character. Very nice value!!

What the hell am I even doing?

Barda is good Pinot for a weeknight - something with pretty moments - there when you want them, no guilt if too tired to think. Over four nights, consensus is Barda is rich, concentrated, luscious - fruit and minerals. There isn't such distinction but it's really well executed - pretty aromatics, sappy velvet texture, substantial in the mouth, overall well balanced. Ripe raspberry, sweet bright red soft strawberry, limestone, and a sweet cherry core finish.

Perfumed & expressive with lively fresh forest fruit & crunchy light cherry, forest undergrowth, a bit of wet earth and a hint of cedar wood. Sweet yet fresh.
On the palate this is beautifully balanced. Polished, silky tannins, juicy red fruit acidity, a dash of savoury herbiness. This is rounded yet without being overly sweet or rich, great freshness and good depth.
I like this much more vs the ‘18.

This wine was a nice surprise. Great QPR. Red fruit/raspberries, earth, medium acidity.

Real clean and crisp, cherry and raspberry fruits lead the charge, green herbs and some chalk. Cutting acid, medium minus body. Cool stuff.
