still the king of south american pinot noir, chacra's “55” offers a beautiful amalgam of dusty middle eastern spice aromas along with raspberry, cherry and cocoa notes. it's a finessed but forceful (read: high-alcohol) pinot with penetrating black cherry, plum and chocolate flavors, and the finish is long but hot in its youth. doesn't lack for much of anything. best from late 2010 through 2013.
