Viña Errázuriz Las Pizarras Pinot Noir 2024 is a 100% Pinot Noir from the cool, Pacific-influenced Aconcagua Costa zone of Chile, sourced from the estate’s slate-rich (“pizarra”) blocks near the coast. The producer, founded in 1870 and long associated with pushing Chilean fine wine forward, aims here for a distinctly site-driven style—Pinot Noir that leans on fragrance, precision, and the stony character that these unusual metamorphic soils can bring. Alcohol is reported at about 12.5% ABV.

Critical reception for 2024 is notably strong, with multiple excellent reviews. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awards 96 points, with Matthew Luczy calling it “my favorite iteration of the wine I’ve tasted to date,” praising a progression from a “distinctly herbal bouquet” into a “floral and oceanic register,” then “red and blue fruits captured at perfect ripeness” with “striking purity.” He highlights a “silky and gently saturated” palate and an “understated, chalky finish,” and suggests it “should drink beautifully well into its second decade.”

Vinous also scores it 96. Joaquín Hidalgo reports it was “aged 12 months in 400-liter French oak barrels, 50% new,” and notes a shift to “a slower, cooler, fully destemmed approach.” He finds “rosehip, fresh roses, cherry and violets,” emphasizing that “oak plays only a minor role,” and describes the wine as “pure, primary and precise… with a silky texture” and a “vibrant varietal finish.”

At 93 points, James Suckling focuses on ripeness and approachability: “Very ripe, floral and fruit-expressive,” with “roses… sweet currants, red berries and rose hips,” plus “fine, round tannins” and a “long, juicy and round” finish. Wine Spectator (93) underscores perfume and detail—“dried rose petal and guava” over “wild strawberry and murtilla”—and notes “700 cases made, 50 cases imported,” with a drink window “now through 2040.”
