Quartz Reef Bendigo Estate Pinot Noir

Rudi Bauer is a mainstay of Central Otago and his 2010s are the finest I can recall from his Bendigo vieyard. A lovely fragrant violet lift and outstanding complexity of exotic spice flow into black fruits of great line and focus, with a mineral finesse to well-composed tannins. $89 at Winecave.
