It's a good idea to either open this wine and let it breathe for at least 20 minutes, or better still an hour, if you believe it all that 'letting wine breathe' nonsense. ;)
Or if, once you've unscrewed the bottle, yes it's a screwtop, you simply want to drink the wine and not wait for it to magically improve in taste, then simply chuck it into a large jug, decanter, or wine glass.
Yes, I do mean those deliciously large wine glasses that can easily hold a decent amount of wine; a whole bottle if you like. :o
From the bottle label -
The Cono Sur vineyard workers travel around our estate by bicycle, tending the vines using natural methods, in order to produce the best quality grapes.
Our Bicicleta wines are a tribute to them.
WINEMAKERS NOTES: A fresh, voluptuous Pinot with rich notes of cherry, blackberries and plum together with a balanced, ripe palate.
FOOD PAIRING: This is the perfect wine for grilled chicken or red meat dishes.
So, after all that, what was Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Noir 2013 like?
It was nice.
It was a fresh, nicely balanced medium-bodied wine with rich flavours of blackberry, cherry, cranberry, plum, and an earthy, smoky aroma with raspberry, and spices, and soft tannins.
A lovely drinkable Pinot Noir.
