Why you should buy it: This is, undoubtedly, some of the finest pinot noir this scribe has ever tasted. Indeed, 2007 is considered to be a subpar year for wine from Central Otago, but Felton Road pulled off a miracle.What it tastes like: Perfectly balanced, fruit forward (but not a fruit bomb) with some Snickers bar action. This wine has SPINE!
What to serve it with: Mushroom risotto, preferably prepared by the chef at Comme Ca in LA. To die for, really.
Say this and sound smart: All of Felton Road’s vineyards are managed organically and biodynamically
The price: $45
