Wine of the Week September 3

This is a catch up on the summer, but Pinot Noir goes with almost anything, and if it isn't too expensive, no one will kill you for chilling it either.

2005 Cono Sur Pinot Noir, Chile, NSLC Regular Stores. Convincing example of Pinot Noir for $12. Hard to beat for value, but delivers an amazingly correct varietal taste for the price. The only wine to challenge this for cheap pinot of the year is the 2005 Trapiche, which is perhaps a better food wine, given its greater acidity. Heck, buy both and tell me which you prefer.
