Errázuriz’s Las Pizarras Pinot Noir 2022 comes from the Aconcagua Costa, a cool, maritime zone about 12km from the Pacific. The vineyard source is central to the wine’s intent: small parcels on shallow, slate-rich soils (“las pizarras” meaning slates) selected to emphasize tension, minerality, and structure. The wine is 100% Pinot Noir and comes in at 13.5% alcohol. Errázuriz describes 2022 as an “exceptional” year with low yields and a dry, temperate season that delivered “concentration, structure, and freshness.”

In the glass, reviewers consistently find an aromatic profile that leans herbal and floral as much as fruity. Matthew Luczy (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) calls it “a pleasing combination of herbal, earth-tinged, candied and fragrant,” with “lifted rosemary and red-pepper notes” and a palate that “straddles silky and plush,” driven by “extremely fine, focused acidity.” Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous) emphasizes its coastal clarity, noting aromas of “herbs, sour cherry and pink peppercorn,” plus “hints of rose and sweet bread,” concluding that it is “a rare Pinot Noir that encapsulates the coastal character in its entirety.”

The structure is a repeated theme, especially in this cooler vintage. Georgie Hindle (Decanter) describes it as “vertical and bright,” with “a shot of high acidity” and “sleek tannins,” finishing on a distinctly mineral note: “a slatey, chocolatey, blueberry graphite ending.” James Suckling delivers the top score and an excellent review at 98 points, highlighting “firm tannins that run the length of the wine,” “excellent energy,” and a “serious” profile that “needs two or three years to come around.”

For drinkers, Jane Anson (94 points) frames it as more New World in intensity—“closer to a New Zealand or Oregon style… than Burgundy”—and calls it “easy to drink and full of pleasure… hard to resist.” Overall, Las Pizarras 2022 reads as a high-acid, firmly structured, coastal Pinot built for both immediate appeal and short-term cellaring.
