Felton Road

"Winemaker Blair Walter continues to work his magic with the recent releases from Central Otago's most famous Estate. There's not a wine less than excellent in the bunch, but these days it would be more of a story if there was."

"Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the 2013 Cornish Point Pinot Noir is a little closed on the nose showing nuances of black fruits, mossy bark and fertile loam with a floral undercurrent. Medium bodied with a great core of expressive red and black cherry flavors supported by firm grainy tannins and just enough acid, it finishes long with a herbal lift."

Issue # 216

91 Points

"Good deep, saturated red. Sappy, explosive aromas of cherry and dark raspberry. Boasts an outstanding core of berry fruit and spice flavors, with a saline impression of extract adding another dimension. Finishes dense and rich but youthfully tight, with serious intensity and length. Still a baby."

"Medium-deep ruby-purple in color, the 2013 Calvert Pinot Noir has a nose of dusty earth, warm red currants and cassis accented by pencil lead and hints of baking spices. Medium bodied and tightly-knit on the palate, it gives a great concentration of red and black fruit flavors, chewy tannins and earthy layers that emerge in the long finish."

Issue # 216

91 Points

"Good bright dark red. Pungent, slightly liqueur-like aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and brown spices lifted by pepper and rose petal topnotes. Boasts lovely depth and concentration to its piquant dark raspberry and spice flavors. Dense, sappy wine with terrific inner-palate energy. Finishes high-pitched and dry, with a serious dusting of tannins and excellent definition, grip and lift."

	Varietal	Chardonnay
	Region	Central Otago, New Zealand

91 Points

"The 2013 Chardonnay has pretty white blossom notes - orange and peach blossoms - over a core of grapefruit, white peaches and baking bread with a hint of marzipan. Medium bodied and still very tight in the mouth, it has great tension lifting the citrus and stone fruit flavors, finishing long and creamy."

Issue # 216

90 Points

"Bright peach and apricot aromas are lifted by lime and stone. Concentrated, pliant and smooth, offering a lovely restrained sweetness to its flavors of stone fruits, lime and spices. Very suave but not yet showy, with a firm-edged finish calling for a year or two of patience."
