2008 Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir (NZ) $24 – spicy, slurpy and smooth, a Central bargain.
2008 Evandale Estate Pinot Noir (TAS) $21 – Made so well by Guy Wagner (Bass Strait Pinot), the master of great value pinot. Well flavoured with soft ripeness – ‘a cuddly pinot,’ said one.
2009 Clarence Plains Pinot Noir (TAS) $21 Young vines from Rokeby (across the Derwent from Hobart) produce a big, full-flavoured pinot (dark fruits), expertly made by Julian Alcorso.
