Ocaso Pinot Noir 2020

Ocaso is produced by Gonzalo Gouguenheim from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, Mendoza — one of Argentina's coolest and most exciting wine sub-regions. At altitude, Pinot Noir finds the freshness and delicacy it needs to express its best: elegant, aromatic, and a world away from the heavier reds the region is better known for.
