99 Rows Te Muna Road Martinborough Pinot Noir 2018 $28 
Grown high up on the Te Muna Terraces, the pinot noir that comes from Julicher Estate has its own personality and huge florality (definitely a word). Gentle tannins are the cushion for its bright cherry, damson plum, raspberry, and redcurrant razziness (another good word). Plus it’s also a bit mischievous. Kind of like me when I’m mad at my son. I like to remotely connect my Bluetooth mouse to his computer and move it around while he’s playing online games. Such fun. Chorizo sticks? Bring it.
