Note di degustazione
Pale garnet. A little hint of sweet oak and masses of sweet fruit. Transparent. Sinewy and interesting but very particular with quite emphatic tannins. Oak-derived? Not that long. (JR)

21% whole-bunch fermented. Tasted blind. Slightly pongy in a way that suggests South Africa, perhaps? Interesting tea-leaf (rooibos?) notes. Smoky palate and ripe fruit with an earthy, undergrowth flavour. Reasonably full-bodied and lots of fruit concentration on the finish. (RH)
Delicate red fruit notes—a mix of strawberry, raspberry and cherry—appear on the nose of the 2017 Pinot Noir. They're joined by hints of tea, dried spices and thyme, giving the wine ample complexity. It's medium-bodied and supple, with a long, silky finish. The focus at Felton Road has shifted toward more elegance and red fruit, and this is a fine example of that.
Pale-mid purple. Rose over ripe blackberry. Integral clove oak and dried herbs. Intense, smoky blackberry, with fine acidity and fine, quite firm tannins. Long, floral and creamy finish. (TJ)
