Vinous
(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 strawberry flavors. Still a bit edgy owing to its firm acid/tannin spine and mineral underpinning but finishes with subtle length. This may ultimately merit an outstanding rating.
