2007 Luca Pinot Noir Uco Valley Mendoza

(92 points) "The red wines start with the medium ruby-colored 2007 Pinot Noir, sourced from a relatively young vineyard planted to Dijon clones. It was aged in 30% new French oak and bottled without fining or filtration. It offers up an alluring bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, saddle leather, spice box, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with intense, savory, spicy, red fruit flavors, this lengthy, complex effort will evolve for several years and be at its best from 2010 to 2018. It is a candidate for best Argentina Pinot Noir of the year. At the asking price, it is also a very good value." Wine Advocate.
