Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 8, 2018 - 2018 Long Sunday Lunch on the Langhe: I paired the Felton Road with the Schubert to show the difference between Bannockburn, Central Otago and Martinborough Pinot Noir terroir. 2015 was an excellent vintage in Martinborough, as it was in Central. Served blind. People noted the more restrained, earthy, brambly, less fruit forward aromatics of the Schubert, typical of Martinborough. On palate as well, the Schubert showed more evident stuffing and structure than the Felton Road with notes of black cherries and blackberries, soil, underbrush and crushed stones. More of a savoury edge than the Felton Road. Hold for 3+ years.
