Big Sky Te Muna Road Pinot Noir 2012 $40 ★★★★
Katherine Jacobs and Jeremy Corban are the couple behind this rising star Martinborough brand. The ancient Te Muna terraces provide deep, mineral-driven texture to the pinots which grown on its soils and this is no exception. A dusty, musky mouthfeel cloaks earthy cherry and cocoa flavours to leave a long, warming, easy and spicy finish. www.bigskywines.co.nz
