About the wine:

A hint of smoke and toast emerges first, along with the lingering echo of a subtle reduction. The delicate tannic structure on the palate highlights the oak as well as surprisingly dark fruit. Very juicy, fruity, and bold, this Felton Road Pinot Noir was aged in just 25% new oak.

About the wine:

The 2021 Bannockburn Pinot Noir offers lovely tension and body. I really like it because it’s understated and wrapped in a hint of acidity and tannic tension. Tart red cherry, Damascus plum, wild herbs, and a hint of nutmeg—it’s all very pleasant. Long, aromatic, and excellent value for the price, with tannins worthy of praise.
