96 / 100"Dense, elegant Pinot Noir with a deliciously haunting perfume and silken texture to die for. Floral, red fruits and mixed spice flavours. Linear and exceptionally long with exciting energy. 16 JUL 2012"

"RS 0 g/l. Pale to mid cherry red. Sweet-sour cherry scent with additional oak sweetness. Leaner than the Bannockburn but also more delicate and refined. Fine dry finish, tannins polished already. - Julia Harding MW"

Tasting Notes
Felton Road is a premium wine producer stablished in 1991, the estate owns 32 ha of vineyards in the Bannockburn sub-region. They prioritise minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winery, resulting in wines of unparalleled purity and complexity.
"Tight and precise on the nose with dark fruit characters, wood spice and hints of leather. On the palate, absolute classic Calvert: a tight core of pure fruit that sits on the centre of the tongue, transparent, yet almost burning an impression with its concentration and purity. A single-minded elegance drives the wine. Sophisticated and sustained but still approachable. Impeccable." - Felton Road
