Valli 2008 Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $55
My favorite of Grant Taylor’s 2008s, the Bannockburn bottling displays elegant lacings of vanilla and cinnamon over black cherries, then adds subtle meaty and herbal nuances. It’s medium bodied and supple in texture, with a long, silky finish. Drink now–2015.

Valli 2008 Waitaki Vineyard Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Intriguingly floral and savory upfront, this delicate wine then adds a deep base of ripe cherries that expand effortlessly across the palate, giving an impression of fullness without weight, suppleness without being soft. Finishes long, with a great deal of complexity.

Valli 2008 Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Gibbston is the coolest of Central Otago’s subregions, and this wine reflects that in its delicate floral and herbal notes, even a touch of rhubarb. But there’s also ample cherry fruit and a wonderfully lacy, silky texture. Long and crisp on the finish. Best from 2012–2018.
