Pinot Brothers Gold Label Martinborough Pinot Noir 2019 $49

Ben Dugdale and his daughter Rose are the talent behind Pinot Brothers (or should that be Pinot Parent and Progeny? or Pinot Dad and Daughter?) Anyhoo, they’ve done an excellent job of capturing the classic Martinborough florals and cherry intensity on the nose and palate. Lifted spices, black tea, hints of rhubarb and awash with spices. Refreshing and lithe with a gentle, slippery finish, it’s a lovely drop.
