She&#8217;s making wines under her own label from a range of New Zealand regions, as well as being a partner in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.waitakibraids.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\">Waitaki Braids<\/a> project along with Peter Gordon and Michael McGrath from The Providores, and Stephen Cozens. [Waitaki is an exciting new region in Otago, but it&#8217;s quite separate from Central Otago.]<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s Michelle&#8217;s Pinot Noir, from the successful 2007 vintage. I really like it. On day two it wasn&#8217;t looking so smart, so I think this is a wine that is for drinking now and over the next few years. But what I like about this wine is the way it manages to achieve some non-fruit complexity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michelle Richardson Pinot Noir 2007 Central Otago, New Zealand<br \/>\n<\/strong>Nice balance here: sweet, pure raspberry and cherry fruit with fresh, mineral, spicy savoury notes. It has that Central Otago depth of fruit, but there&#8217;s also nice precision and good acidity. This Pinot combines richness with elegance and it has some non-fruit complexity. Delicious. 92\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first met Michelle Richardson a few weeks ago at a dinner at Providores in London.
