Ah 1994. Nancy Kerrigan got kneecapped, Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s president, Michael Jackson married Lisa-Marie Presley, and we used Netscape Navigator to browse the newfangled internet thing. It’s also when Sue and the late Greg White ditched their corporate careers, established Whitehaven, and went on to produce perky, cherry and spice-saturated superstars like this pinot noir. Vibrant, refreshing and roaring with ripe tannins and gently smoky oak notes, it’s delicious.
