"Patricio Tapia – Descorchados" hat den Wein "Vina Ventisquero 'Tara Atacama' Red Wine 1 Pinot Noir" aus dem Jahrgang 2020 am 01.01.2022 mit 94 von 100 Punkten bewertet."One of the most characteristic aspects of the alluvial soils of the Huasco vineyards, planted between 2007 and 2011 close to where the Atacama Desert begins, is that these saline, alluvial soils design austere textures, firm structures, and severe tannins that have nothing in common with the grape in Chile, although in reality, they are very typical of the variety. The rest is all fruity, juicy notes rich in acidity and freshness. A wine to consider with stewed game meat." Jg. 2019 Patricio Tapia – Descorchados: 96 von 100 Punkten. "Patricio Tapia – Descorchados" hat den Wein "Vina Ventisquero 'Tara Atacama' Red Wine 1 Pinot Noir" aus dem Jahrgang 2019 am 01.01.2021 mit 96 von 100 Punkten bewertet."The Tara pinot is from a selection of the two vineyards that Ventisquero has at the edge of the Atacama Desert in the Huasco Valley. 60% is from Longomilla, on the banks of the Huasco River, and 40% is from Nicolasa, closer to the sea (14 kilometers away), and both have very poor saline soils. This pinot is wild in its aromas, which are reminiscent of herbs and earth, and on the palate, the tannins mark a rough, firm, sharp texture, followed by lots of ripe red fruits and more herbs in a wine with a long life ahead in the bottle."

It comes from two vineyards in the Huasco Valley, both an eight-hour drive from Santiago.
