Felton Road MacMuir Pinot Noir 2022

Tasting Note: The immediate potpourri of flowers on the nose is gracefully entwined with subtle minerality. The palate begins precise and playful, showing sandalwood and fine spice notes. A surprising breadth that the tight focus doesn't immediately reveal. Balanced and complete: possessing lovely charm, harmony and a persistent finale. Irresistible in its youth but further complexities will no doubt emerge. Reviews: 95 points Bob Campbell Outer quote mark Felton Road's entry level Pinot Noir is an elegant blend of several vineyards with a mix of savoury, earthy, herbal and coffee flavours with cherry, floral and spice characters. It's a supple and complex wine that reveals power through a lengthy finish. 94 points Raymond Chan Outer quote mark Deepish ruby-red colour, with light garnet on edge. The nose is elegant, fine and firm with primary dark-red cherry fruit aromas. The aromatics are deep, dense and well-ripened and very classical, but refined Central Otago expression. Rich and plush on the palate, the dark-red and near black fruit is sweet and ripe, luscious and juicy, but shaped by fine tannin structure. This is an ‘all-together’ wine and quite complete with a solid depth behind it all. I 93 points Wine Spectator Outer quote mark Distinctive, featuring prominent fresh green tomato leaf notes and dried cherry flavors. Toasted herb and spice accents linger in the background, with velvety tannins. Drink now through 2028. 2,952 cases made.
