Matetic EQ Granite Pinot Noir 2016

Valle Hermoso was first planted in 2006 very close to the sea in the Casablanca zone, 10 kilometers from the Pacific. This pinot comes from there, and it reveals a maritime influence in a fruit-focused wine. Ripe red fruit flavors rely on firm, tense acidity - a column of acidity that travels across the palate. With 30% stems to support the structure (which they do very well), this is a weighty wine with good body, but it hasn't lost its freshness. [Drink through 2023.] Score - 94.
