This was the second sample of Chilean Pinot that I received. This wine is cheaper than the Tobiano, with a suggested retail of about $12. William Cole is actually located in Saint Helena, but they have vineyards in Chile. This wine hails from the Casablanca region, but is for the most part missing the gout de Casablanca that was so prevalent in the Tobiano. I think that's a good thing. In many ways, this wine is more on in terms of QPR than the Tobiano. Although the Tobiano clearly has some more stuffing and is arguably a more serious wine, I like this wine more. Initially prominent oaky aromas, but these blow off to reveal some Pinot funk, with attractive sour cherry and cranberry notes. B
