I spend a lot of time explaining to customers why a good Pinot Noir under $20 is so hard to find; the grapes are fickle, expensive, and hard to grow, the wine has to be treated with such care every step of the way, etc., etc. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to me, even kind of blows my theory out of the water in some respects, when a good Pinot comes along for about $13. Sign of the times, I suppose, and I’ll be the last one to object! Over the Edge is a Martinborough New Zealand Pinot Noir that displays all the “varietally correct” characteristics of ripe cherry and raspberry fruit, just a hint of earth, and a balance between juiciness and fresh acidity, but what’s really special about it is the bright, sweet-fruited flavor. If you’re not committed to putting American wines on the table for Thanksgiving, this would make a great pairing for your turkey, cranberry sauce, and roasted vegetables.
Food pairing: Roasted parsnips and fennel
