2010 Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir, Bannockburn, New Zealand 750ml

The numbered block bottlings usually get the biggest scores, but the regular Felton Road Pinot Noir continues to incrementally improve. The 2010 is medium to full bodied and fruit foward in style, featuring hints of cola and wintergreen that accent elegant cherry fruit. It's not huge but rather finessed, offering a long, silky finish.
