Felton Road 2022 Calvert Pinot Noir

Characteristic Calvert florals lead the nose with violets and dark rose petals dominating. The warmer 2022 vintage attempts to outplay the vineyard character, but as we have come to learn with this vineyard, Calvertness is rarely, if ever, outclassed. The deep silt soils and naturally moderated vine vigour provides intensity and detailed, elegant tannins. Fine and regal: a classic Calvert.

95/100
Delicately scented pinot noir with floral/rose petal, dried herb, mixed spices, chocolate box
and teasing complexity supported by a structure of gentle tannins. Seductively drinkable,
smooth-textured wine that lacks its usual precision.
