Impressive pinot for the money, Spy Valley's 2012 captures the boldly fruity New Zealand style, yet with ample support from baking spices and vanilla as well as a note of earthiness. It's also got an admirable backbone of gently dusty, grippy tannins. Versatile at the table and especially suitable for rare duck breast or grilled lamb chops. Various prices in Alberta, $26.99 in Manitoba, $28.05 in Quebec, $25.27 in Newfoundland.
