title: Morandé 2001 Pionero Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley)
description: Morande is the biggest producer of Pinot Noir in Casablanca Valley, and this entry-level bottling is a good value to boot. Earthy, forest-fire aromas coat black cherry notes in the bouquet; the palate's bark, oak and bacon flavors come from time in old American oak barrels. Creamy and simple, but a steal.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Pionero
