Loveblock Central Otago Pinot Noir 2021 $33-$37 
Paired with Lamb Meatballs in the NZ Herald CANVAS magazine Sat 8th April 2023
To me, it doesn’t matter if you get all Bubba from Forrest Gump on it (lamb roast, lamb chops, lamb racks, lamb burgers, lamb and rosemary sausages, lamb casserole, lamb rissoles, lamb steaks, lamb curry, lamb kebabs or lambs tails) I will pretty much always recommend pinot noir because there’s nothing nicer. Crafted by Kim Crawford, the Loveblock has finesse and fruit intensity with a lacing of smoky oak and soft tannins making it magic with these meatballs. Plus it’s cherry-stacked, exotically-spiced, roaring with redcurrant and soothingly smooth to sip.
