It's been ages since we've tasted a New Zealand Pinot we would want to drink ourselves -- and it's priced under $20 as a bonus! Blicks Lane is a second label by Clyde Sowman of Walnut Block Winery, located just off Blicks Lane in the hamlet of Rapaura, Marlborough, where vines are planted in alluvial soils of nearby Wairau and Ōpaoa Rivers and benefit from sunny days and cool nights. Handpicked organic Burgundy clones are destemmed and chilled before crushing and slow fermentation with wild yeasts. Aging is done in French barriques for 12 months, yielding an elegant Pinot with red fruit, spice, earth, and light oak. This is a must-try for any fan of Pinot Noir. 13% ABV.
