Rippon ‘Tinkers Field’ Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2009 $95 
Yes, you are right, it is that price. But I guarantee if you try this you’ll quickly realize that the last thing you spent ninety dollars on didn’t give you half the satisfaction as just one sip of the Tinkers Field. Biodynamically produced from one of the oldest pinot noir sites in Central Otago, it is scented with sweet rhubarb, cherry chocolate and earthy spices. In the mouth it has lush intensity of flavour, juicy red fruits, black tea and finishes with soft, delicately prickly tannins and plush persistence of flavour. It is an experience not forgotten in a hurry. Order at www.rippon.co.nz
