Felton Road, Pinot Noir Calvert other_regions earthy black cherry and blackcurrant

earthy black cherry and blackcurrant fruit

very firm and hugely long finish

with subtle aromas of violets

Felton Road, Pinot Noir Calvert other_regions earthy black cherry and blackcurrant(from a 2001 planting on deep silt soil that's not too different from Felton Road's Block 3; vinified with 22% whole clusters), Healthy medium red. Slightly darker and less open to inspection than the Bannockburn Pinot; more brooding on the nose but still more red fruit than black, with attractive floral spicy lift. A rather tight, youthfully compact wine with a strong element of spicy underbrush and modest sweetness to its dark raspberry and
