Tasmania rocks.  Not your soft-spoken Okanagan Pinot.  No masquerade trying to fake Burgundy.  A luxurious, athletic, full-bodied Pinot, boasting licorice, cherry, menthol, with a finish that is smooth to sleek, if a tad alcoholic three years in.  Pure pleasure.  Hic.

Price: $23.60 USD in Seattle and impossible to source in BC.  (Go to BC Liquor and search “Tasmania” and get ready to view, wait for it, all five wines.  Sad.)

Market Liquidity: No faux.
