There's a medal on this label, and it earned its place. "Alma" honors a Buck-family forebear, a Crimean War surgeon decorated for saving hundreds of wounded soldiers at the 1854 Battle of the Alma. The wine lives up to the story: a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the elevated, free-draining Woodthorpe Terraces, this is Te Mata's most serious expression of the grape. Hawke's Bay isn't New Zealand's usual Pinot address, which makes this all the more of a discovery. Silky, red-fruited, and gently savory, it's proof that the country's oldest winery is still chasing new ground.

"A potpourri dish of dried herbs, spices and flowers weaves its way between tart cherry fruit. A snap crackle of acidity feels like biting into that very same cherry, fresh off the tree, the savory, sappy tannins along for the ride. Drink anytime over the next 5-8 years: there's solid winemaking here which means this will be fairly bullet proof over time." —Christina Pickard
