Peregrine Mohua Pinot Noir 2017 Review
Want to venture outside of your regular Pinot place? This bottle is a good introduction to the style of Pinot Noir that can be found in Central Otago, New Zealand. It has rich, tart cherry feels with a slight vegetal note (kind of like the bitterness of radicchio). The mouthfeel is viscous and makes you want to chew on it. It’s soft, but has depth, and would pair well with a lamb dish or on its own, just chilling with good friends and a cheese plate.
