Felton Road

This is really beautiful, with ripe strawberries, peaches, slate, smoke and a hint of graphite on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with fine, creamy, velvety tannins and a long, lightly chewy finish with some crunchiness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

I really do feel that these Pinot Noir vines love the soil they grow in, there’s a lovely core of fruit and sense of site, the bouquet is alluring, new and vibrant. Scents of dark berries and baking spices, clay and dry earth, some dark roses and black cherry. A very taut frame as the wine touches the palate, tannins are ripe and in abundance, acidity brings in mouthfeel and freshness, flavours and salinity. A delicious and complex wine with a quiver and vibrato, it just needs cellar time with best drinking from 2030 through 2040+.
