2016 FEL Donnelly Creek Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., $65. Limited whole cluster inclusion. Aged in French oak barrels, 20% new, for 16 months. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Intriguing aromas of black cherry and exotic spices lead to a middleweight styled wine with flavors of black cherry, mushroom and toast. Easy to like, with suede tannins and a succulent, fruit-filled finish. Impeccably balanced for long-term enjoyment. Score: 93. Reviewed February 23, 2019
