2016 Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Pinot Noir $34

Ten Minutes by Tractor is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s finest wineries with a must-visit restaurant. This regional wine is from several vineyards that it manages.

It makes for delicious drinking now, with gently ripe primal fruit flavours, silky smooth texture, gently gripping tannins, all wonderfully balanced. Splurge doesn’t always mean expensive.
