Felton Road, Block 3 Pinot Noir other_regions_italy Cedar and sandalwood accents addPale to medium deep ruby purple in color, the 2011 Block 3 Pinot Noir has earthy, yeasty, baking bread overtones that envelop a core of red plums, mulberries and pomegranate with hints of milk chocolate and tree bark. Medium bodied, it is quite structured in the mouth, with crisp acid, a medium level of grainy tannins and a long, earthy finish. It needs a year or two of aging and will drink to 2020+.
