Supple wild berry, cherry and plum flavors are both powerful and delicate, with details of Earl Grey tea, white pepper, anise and crushed rock. Expansive and expressive, the finish sails on and on, with satiny tannins that never get in the way. Drink now through 2030. 5,174 cases made.
Medium ruby-purple, the 2013 Pinot Noir has a funky nose with pleasant meaty / earthy characters over notes of blackberries and mulberries with black cherry, rose hip tea and Provence herb accents. Medium bodied with plenty of ripe red fruit lifted by a gentle herbal character in the mouth, it has a medium level of silky tannins and just enough acid, finishing long and earthy.
Felton Road has delivered yet another sappy and fragrant pinot, packed with wild cherries, strawberries and plums. Ultra-fine spices float throughout, and there are plenty of anise, liquorice and fresh herbal smells. The palate is like a soft-centred, fleshy ball of red cherry fruit, yet is really delicate with a finely woven web of tannins, bright acidity and a finish crunchy. Drink now.
Hedonistic Pinot nose: layers of floral spice, lovely, quite ripe fruit, something herbal and savoury, too; supple, with dark fruit flavours to the fore. Will reward cellaring. Drink 2015-2022.
