Wine Enthusiast 96 points - Aromatic but also nervy and restrained at first sip, this tightly wound wine has a classic profile of brisk acidity and fine-grained tannins to support vivid and concentrated rhubarb, red cherry and oolong-tea flavors. It is built to age gracefully. 

Tasting Panel 93 Points- A Cliff Lede label with a deep ruby color and a silky, fresh style; bright and lively, with juicy notes of cherry and a long finish.

Fruit for FEL’s Pinot comes from three vineyards in the Anderson Valley. The wine ages 16 months in French oak barrels, about one-third new. The result is rubescent with a spicy profile: cinnamon, star anise, Chinese five spice. But there is also plenty of fruit, which tilts toward woodsy brambles and black cherries. Solid acidity amplifies the spice notes.

It’s a good wine for rich and earthy cheeses, especially washed rind, as their creamy texture will be a counterpoint to the wine’s acidity. Try it with rich pâtés, cured meats, lamb and richer cuts of pork, especially smoked or barbecued.
