Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits.
every week we seem to get emails requesting wine for various events, tastings, shows etc and so about six weeks ago when Gordon Little from Little Peacock Imports and Eric Asimov from the New York Times asked us to send wine for a dinner at New York restaurant The Spotted Pig we thought it sounded like something a bit special.
The dinner was intended to showcase Australian red wines and to breakdown some of the stereotypes that exist, namely that Australia only produces big bold shiraz.
We were very excited last week when The New York Times published an article that featured the 12 favourite wines from this tasting and the 2008 Mietta Pinot Noir rates a mention. If you are interested to read article click on the link below.

Campbell Mattinson review of 2010 Pinot Noir
Lethbridge Pinot Noir 2010
Campbell Mattinson
2010 was a wetter, cooler vintage in southern Victoria and it did a lot of good for much of the local pinot noir. This one was cold soaked for ten days prior to wild yeast fermentation. It saw 30 percent whole bunches and 35 percent new oak. I liked this from the first sip. It’s tangy and refreshingly acidic but it has the flavour and tannin to support it. Earth, rhuburb, dark cherries, and sweet dry spices. Lots of grainy, sinewy dryness reaching out through the finish. Feels natural, balanced and long. Feels prickly and alive, in a good way. Drinks well now, though it will take kindly to some age too.
93 Points
Drink : 2014 – 2018
