Indomita, Gran Reserva, Pinot Noir, 2020, Chile
I love Chile Pinot Noir and this one from Indomita is very good. I’m not sure its in the same league as Morande Pinot Noir but its half the price on a mix 6 at Majestic.
Dry, smooth and reasonable light with aromas of red fruit and notes of oak and coffee. There are flavours of redcurrant, strawberry, herbs and vanilla with hints of eathiness. Its the price where this really scores, at £8 a bottle its well worth buying.
Maipo valley produces a lot of Chilean wine and most of it is actually really good, it’s consistent. I think this is a really good example Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon although not sure the Gran Reserva label adds to the taste.
It’s a dry red thats pretty bold with firm tannings. The aromas of red fruit, leather and a slight smokiness on the nose which is joined by plum and oak on the taste which has good length and under £10 a bottle this is really good value definitely ones are having especially with a lump of meat, game bird or tomato pasta dish.

This Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere blend from Indomita in the Maipo Valley in Chile is a good example of what Chile can produce. Wine Snobs look away.
Its a deep purple colour with aromas of red and black fruits, redcurrant, blackcurrant, plum, cherries and leather. There are additional flavours of spice, vanilla and oaky notes. Its a dry, bold wine that has tannins but no enough to strip your mouth.
We had this with a big juicy steak and it went very well, cutting through the fat and giving that warm fuzzy feel, granted many wines give that warm fuzzy feel but steak is the perfect partner for this wine.
At £14 a bottle its about the right price, get it in a sale and it could be great value.
