Alfredo Roca pinot noir. in my neverending and frustrating search for inexpensive(cheap) pinot noir, i bought a case of 09 arpn. it is decent, drinkable wine.

does argentena have any controls over what goes in the bottle, compared to the label? from the back label "this 100% pinot noir shows deep crimson color...." about the color of fully extracted malbec, or syrah. has about as much pn characteristic as anything north of zinfindel. luigi bosca pinot tastes and looks like pinot. i do not have much experience with others from east andes.

"Speaking of Cabernet Franc.... have you tried the Benegas Lynch Cabernet Franc...??? " benegas lynch is not readily available in the area.
