Another Beautiful Wine from Patagonia, Argentina - Bodega Del Anelo - Finca Roja Pinot Noir

I really enjoyed this inexpensive Pinot Noir from Bodega Del Anelo Winery, also known as Finca Roja, located in the Anelo Region of Neuquen, Patagonia, Argentina. 2009 vintage.

It has fragrant aromas with elegant, spicy, plum, flavors and a slight earthy organic undertone. It is a very good medium-bodied food wine which we enjoyed at home with an pasta dish, a recipe out of the current Food and Wine magazine, Penne with Asparagus, Peas, Mushrooms and Cream, we added sausasage.

 

They call it Finca Roja because of the red earth there, although they say in the vineyard it's not all that red.

The wine was found at Total Wine in River Edge

I also tried the Fica Roja Malbec, but did not like that. Lacked the body and complexity that I look for in a Mabec.
