FEL Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard

Similar notes as prior post. Flavor waning, so drink now.

A lighter PN on the nose, soft strawberry with a hint of smoke; red fruit, cranberry and strawberry palette with soft tannins. A velvet finish with slight leather notes. An hour after opening, the softness continues to build. The 14.5 ABV emerges a bit, but a delightful wine now. We will drink our stock in the next year.

A great effort here. Lots of fruit - cherry - on nose and mid palate. Balanced with light wood on the finish. It did not drink as well on day two though.

Ramené de Napa Valley lors d'un voyage sur la côte ouest en 2015 . Une semaine qui nous avais coûté les yeux de la tête ! Vignoble visité lors de notre dernière journée . Le vignoble se nomme #clifflede . Les cabernets sauvignon sont très bon aussi . C'est la douce qui a choisi le vin pour sa fête . Tout sur le fruit et la finesse.La cerise,la vanille et une pointe de boisé dans ce vin. Bonne longueur et …

A big cherry bomb. Lots of cherry flavor and fruit forward but not sweet.

très beau nez , meilleur au nez qu'en bouche , fruit rouge mûr , cannelle , bois ( de qualité ) , vanille , on sent un peu l'alcool , trop confituré à mon goût . J'ai plutôt le palais bourguignon

It was good but for $65 it seems a little pricey. Lovely balance - did everything well.

Great expression of Anderson Valley Pinot, from the winery that was formerly Breggo. Soft, supple and a bit earthy.

Love, love, love the special flavors from ferrington vineyard - loved the old breggo vintages and this is on par - tasted at the winery right at release and it was full of subtle flavors and spice - long finish that makes you want to come back for more. I prefer the leaner vintages but this is lovely

Nice balanced Pinot.

Clear purple color, hints of spice, berry burst on the front end, short finish.

Full bodied but balanced with good tannins and acid, powerful but complex. This is a good example of what California can deliver: It is rich, balanced and still tastes like a Pinot Noir. Also excellent value for the price. Match with the standard Pinot Noir fair, but it is rich enough to go with bolder food. Drinks well now but should age for the next 5 years.

Medium ruby and beautifully structured, this Pinot Noir offers aromas of dried cranberries, black cherries, rose petals and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (14.6%), it delivers black fruit and spice flavors which are wrapped with medium-weight, sweet tannins. Layered and persistent in the middle, it concludes with a tart, medium-to-long finish. This is the real deal for California Pinot Noir. The wine has excellent fruit but stays within its boundries by virtue of its acid, tannins …

Good clarity, strong scent of berries on the nose, the berries follow on the palate but drop off on the backend with an uneventful finish. Not bad but not great. Overpriced for the value.

Nose: rose perfume, Taste: raisins, long on the finish. Great value.

Blind Pinot Noirs; 5/1/2014-5/2/2014 (Washington, DC) : A ruby-cranberry color. Smells of chilled black and red berries, mocha, sweet rose potpourri and cedar. Dusty but grippy tannins and medium acid provide the foundation for the rich raspberry and black cherry fruit. Accents of peppercorns, bay leaf and earth mix with cedar and mocha. Not overpowering, but a powerful wine. I’d like to cellar this for a few years.
