Jackson Estate Vintage Widow Marlborough Pinot Noir 2019 $40 
Paired with: Annabel Langbein’s Shiitake Soba Noodles in the NZ Herald Canvas July 1 2023
This dish is very green and crunchy with all that broccoli, cucumber and coriander, and you’re possibly wondering why I’m recommending a red wine to go with it. Well, I’ll tell you one thing, the way the salty soy, minerally sake, sweet mirin and smoky shiitake mushrooms merge with the baked cherry, redcurrant, black tea and silky slippery textures in this light, lithe pinot noir, is a total joy and you should do it immediately!
