2017 Texture Ferrington Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

13.9% alc., 451 cases, $75. Pommard (primarily), faux 828 and 777 clones, 100% de-stemmed. Aged 10 months in 50% new French oak barrels. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Very enjoyable nose with primarily savory aromas of earth, underbrush and allspice. Fresh and vivid fruit flavors including cherry, strawberry and blueberry with wellmatched modest tannins. The wine is not all about fruit with an appealing earthiness. Gracious in texture with long, assertive finish. An excellent depiction of this vineyard's terroir. Score: 93. Reviewed July 26, 2021
