Seven years on from vintage and this wine is at peak. The great thing is that it’s beautifully made and at under $30 is a bargain. Seriously juicy and woven through with wild strawberry, cherry and hints of pepper, it’s also got black tea and cranberry characters which lead to a long, tangy, spicy finish. It’s surprisingly youthful and zesty, yet it has underlying power and structure and maturity. Its quality is testament to Ann and James Brodie’s dedication to Martinborough pinot noir.
Sip with venison tartare.
