Mt. Beautiful, North Canterbury (New Zealand) Pinot Noir 2016

($29, Broadbent Selections):  Truly beautiful.  It delivers the classic balance of earth and fruit that makes Pinot Noir a unique grape.  Plenty of leafy savory notes balance dark fruit flavors in this refined wine.  Fine tannins make it a joy to drink now.  And look at the price — for distinctive Pinot Noir, it’s a bargain.
