Rippon Tinker’s Field Mature Vine Pinot Noir
With vines approaching 30 years of age, Rippon is privileged to the oldest commercial plantings in Central Otago. Tinker’s Field is testimony to the ability of these deep roots to draw delightfully mineral-fine yet firmly enduring tannins. These are overlaid with exotic complexity of spice, pepper and sarsaparilla and great definition of black and red fruits. Incredible. $130 at Prince.
