+Elephant in the Room 2019 Palatial Pinot Noir, $15
If you’re into bold, expressive flavours, follow the herd to this fruit-driven crowd pleaser from Mount Gambier in South Australia. It has earthy berry aromas, bright acidity and cherry flavours, with a hint of smoky spice. It pairs well with mushroom risotto and lamb dishes, and if you can lay your hands on a bottle with the special neck tag before July 15, there’s a chance to win one of 25 house parties (fully catered, with all food, drinks and entertainment included). A convenient half-size bottle of this Pinot is available for $10.
Other varietals in the Elephant in the Room range include Pinot Gris, Fiano, Chardonnay, Tempranillo, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. We picked up a bottle of the Chardonnay in our local bottle shop some months ago and thought it was good value for money. We haven’t had a chance to try any of the others in the range, but if the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are anything to go by, we should probably rectify that pronto!
