Bests Young Vine Pinot Meunier
$37.98 – $208.98
Rating: 93 points. The Real Review – Stuart Knox, July 2024
A light and crystal bright ruby hue. Fragrant and pretty, aromas of raspberry, musk, and bresaola. palate sits light and airy with a delightful fresh red and blue fruit core. A dusting of crushed sage and pencil shavings add a deeper savoury note with fine, silken tannins guiding it. Finish is long and lifted with a light brush of acidity keeping it refreshing and more-ish. Drink now – 2032 .

We know what Best’s Old Vine Pinot Meunier can do. Give it 10, 20, 30 years and it will be a stunner. In the meantime, there is Best’s Young Vine Pinot Meunier to sate the appetite. There’s an intrinsic pepperiness to the 2023 vintage which is quite delightful, a real focus point for this drinker who loves a bit of pepperiness (but not too much) and the extra flavour appeal it can bring. Black pepper mingles with cherry, plum, cranberry, crushed leaf, dried herbs and spices as the wine works its way along a long line of fine tannin. This plummy, red-fruited youngster has plenty of time up its sleeve, maybe not in the same realm as its Old Vine sibling, but it has immediate drinking enjoyment covered for now and over the next 8-10 years.
