Q Waitaki Valley Pinot Noir 2021
Sipping this wine gave me a flashback to a dream I had recently, in which I remember swirling, sniffing, and sipping a pinot, then saying, ‘This is delicious. I’ll take a bottle!’ to which someone replied, ‘Ms Lorkin, this is a church. Let go of the cup and sit down’. Anyhoo. That was a tad embarrassing for my husband’s very Catholic family. But moving right along. Steady your nostrils for a tsunami of poached rhubarb, tamarillo, and fresh cherry that also osmoses across the palate. With soothing spices, cranberry complexity, and forest floor lushness on the finish, it’s magic with moussaka. Drink now through 2028.
