One of my workmates asked me to recommend a Tassie Pinot for under $30. That's nonsense - quality and Tassie Pinot under $30 don't generally go in the same sentence. Sure you can find a couple, but serious Pinot lovers don't always have pockets laced with diamonds. So, my top tip was this Holm Oak. Some crafting online searching and she snared some of this for $28 - winning! You will be winning too if you get this in your glass for that money.
This is all dark cherries in a pepper spice rub and it's absolutely delicious. A touch of cranberry and a hint of orange peel, but the spiced cherry waltz is the main show. A fine earthiness trickles through adding to the complexity with a suggestion of cured meat. As the label says, "Nunc est bibendum," now is the time to drink - you're damn right it is.
