Piko 2007 Pinot Noir (South Island)
- $18
A nice effort at a nice price, the 2007 Piko Pinot Noir captures that elusive supple, silky mouthfeel of Pinot, then adds black cherry fruit, touches of mushroomy complexity and hints of vanilla and cinnamon. A delicate but strong herbal note adds a sinewy core. Drink now–2012.
