Pinot drinkers will recognize that this highly affordable wine is pretty good stuff, and they will like the tight, sporty, smoky nose that leads into a dry, peppery palate with ample black cherry and sweet plums. With this wine, Undurraga is delivering nice Pinot Noir for the cash-strapped consumer. Best Buy. ——M.S.(3/1/2002)—— 86

A light and tart wine, with a bouquet of berry, tea and a touch of barnyard. On the palate, there’s more cherry, tea and oak. The fundamental Pinot characteristics are here, but it turns drying and a bit sour on the finish. ——M.S.(2/1/2001)—— 82
