Carrick Pinot Noir 2011, Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand: Smooth and luscious with generous spicy cherry aromas and flavours. Vines grow on the north facing slopes of the Cairnmuir Terraces at Bannockburn and have low yields and are hand cropped. A luscious wine with fleshy black cherries and some baking spice. Medium- to full-bodied with velvet smooth. Great length and satisfaction. The proof is in the glass as to why New Zealand Pinot Noir is becoming a benchmark for the country. Drink: 2013-2018. 919837 14.50% XD 750 mL  $38.95 Score: 92/100. September 13, 2014 Outstanding Organic Wine Full Review
Yalumba Shiraz 2014, South Australia, Australia: This organic red wine is full-bodied, smooth and delicious with aromas of smoky black plums and blackberries. Deep and rich and satisfying. Great taste for the price. It opens beautifully on the palate with rich flavours of fleshy black fruit. Some pepper and spice and everything nice on the finish. Drink: 2014-2020. 280883 14.50% XD 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 92/100. June 25, 2016 Best Value Red Wine. Outstanding Organic Wine Full Review
