Following parallel benchmarking Patagonian Pinot Noir, a group of 4 people tried to blind two wines made by the same winemaker and from different areas, one of General Roca - Black River and other St. Patrick's Chañar - Neuquén. Both wines are of a "confidential", with some oak aging and aging potential and are made by winemaker Marcelo Miranda, ex-Canale and currently vinified to Bodega del Fin del Mundo:

Bodega Bodega doomsday

Quality / Price: Mala
Conclusion: bring me bad the Pinot Noir of the Bodega del Fin del Mundo, so far I have been disappointed, and I am surprised because the rest of their wines (especially the Malbec) have always played well in price / quality. The Agrestis has to rescue a very good balance in the mouth, good tannic and very persistent, deserves a try to see that a Pinot Noir wine can be a "persistent" and not "short" as are most wines made with this grape.
