Beautiful Pinot with a super seductive and intense spicy cherry nose...it's voluptuous. A little leaner, with very distinctive aromas of cloves on the palate. Impressive length, balanced and very fresh. Would be great with salmon or grilled BBQ chicken.

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.

Blind Chard and Pinot Tasting: Peppery spice, stalks and roses. Spicy palate as well with plenty of stem flavour. Feels a little full bodied to be classic Pinot but nice enough in its own right.

Very good nose of red small fruits, on the palate smooth, red berries, mineral, the alcohol is a little to much percettibile

Very good Pinot Noir. Even better on the second evening after opening. Character, well balanced.

Noisy New Zealanders (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Coffee, red cherry, sweet spice….regulation ripe pinot nose. More of the same on the palate. Touch off-dry. Well made but defo not for me.
