PEDRO PARRA PAIS VINISTA 750ML

Organic There aren’t many guys like Pedro Parra; this guy has a PHD in terroir, and for his day job he’s a consultant for some of the most prestigious wineries in the world, including Burgundy icons Jean-Marc Roulot and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair. This line of wines is Pedro’s dream come true: Chilean wines grown in cool climates and planted on granitic soil. This particular wine comes from Itata, an appellation within Chile’s Bio Bio. The wine is a blend of Cinsault and Pais (Pais is an old school grape historically found in very old California vineyards). The resulting wine is quite smoky and driven by flavors of black olive, peppercorn, and charcoal. A perfect pairing for red meat: cured, grilled, or roasted. --Codey Foster, Wine Director
