Another excellent value in New Zealand Pinot Noir ($19.99NZ or $13US). For my taste, the quality is similar to the Central Otago Mt Difficulty Pinot (below). Maybe even a little better. Martinborough is at the extreme northeastern tip of the mountainous south island of New Zealand.
Bright ruby, considerably lighter than the Mt Difficulty. Red berries, dark cherries, spice. Lighter on the tannins, good acidity on the ripe fruited finish. I like the depth and complexity. This could match up with salmon or lighter dishes as well as the lamb shanks on the table.
