Pour a glass and you get a wine that doesn't ask much of you. Bright ruby in the glass, juicy red cherry and strawberry on the first sip, soft and silky right through. It's a Pinot Noir, so it's on the lighter side, which makes it the bottle you open when you want something that goes down easy without putting you to sleep. Tuesday catch-up, late dinner, a chill Friday in. This one fits.
The nose pulls you in first: red cherry, a hit of strawberry and a little floral lift, like fresh flowers in the background. Take a sip and it's light-to-medium bodied, silky, properly dry (no sweetness, just fruit). Juicy red berries up front, then a touch of earth comes through. Tannins are soft so it never grips or dries your mouth, and there's a bright streak of acidity keeping the whole thing fresh and lively. Easy company, basically.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Trapiche is the big name in Argentine wine, and it earned it. It started back in 1883 when a man named Tiburcio Benegas bought a patch of land in Mendoza, the high desert wine country tucked up against the Andes, and called it El Trapiche. From that one small vineyard it grew into the country's largest winery. Mendoza's altitude and cool nights are exactly why their Pinot Noir keeps that fresh, bright snap instead of going heavy.
