This Pinot offers moderate to intense red currant and cranberry aromas with a slight earthy whiff. Full bodied and concentrated, it has high acidity, a medium level of grainy tannins and a long finish.

Adds a meaty, bacony edge to broad, mouthfilling flavors of black cherries and herbs. There’s plenty of concentration in this wine, more than in many ’04s, and some silky tannins on the finish that ideally deserve another 2–3 years of cellaring. Another winner from Felton Road.
