Pinot Noir wines
Light, silky and fragrant, with cherry, strawberry and earthy, mushroomy notes. High acidity and soft tannin make it the most food-flexible red there is. Look to Tasmania, Mornington and the Yarra. Every price is converted to the cost of one 750ml bottle, so singles, 6-packs and 12-bottle cases compare fairly.
