When Cliff Lede purchased the highly-regarded Breggo winery in Anderson Valley the name became Fel but the quality of the Pinot has stayed high. A great newcomer to try. The FEL 2013 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is packed with the hallmark aromatics of Anderson Valley Pinot – black cherry, wild mint and thyme, pomegranate, and cola. The mouth is rich with more dark flavors of black cherry, plum, licorice root, and fennel. True to its cool climate origins, the mouth feel is defined by the refreshing acidity that keeps the wine bright and elegant.

Not the first time I've posted a FEL Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. Can't get enough of the burn of the high alcohol (14.5%!) and rush of acidity balancing out the cherry cola, oak and vanilla.
