2008 Mohua Pinot Noir Central Otago  $20.99
A delicate cool-climate pinot noir comparable to some of the lighter Oregon bottlings. Raspberries and currants, soft and supple with an herbal, smoky character.

2007 Vavasour Wines Pinot Noir Marlborough      $22.99
Delicious, fleshy red cherry fruit with a backbone from nine months in French oak. Very pleasant and easy to drink with a dash of acidity to prevent it from being sappy.

2008 Nautilus Estate Pinot Noir Marlborough   $24.99
Polished and refined, brimming with raspberry, cherry and sassafras aromas and flavors,lingering easily on the bright finish. Very limited quality available. 

2009 Craggy Range Vineyards Pinot Noir Te Muna Road Martinborough  $41.00
This has an adorable ripe red currant, raspberry, wild strawberry and orange sorbet bouquet that soars from the glass. The palate has a ripe, caressing entry with rounded redcurrant and orange zest fruit.
