2010 Tasting Notes
Immediately quite masculine on the nose: herbs, earth and brooding dark spices rather than a flower basket. The palate is at once intensely concentrated but with searing transparency. The herbs dance through the raspberry and cherry, with a host of complex detail shining through that encourages one to linger and explore. Regal and structured, but not intimidating, it sails into a long chocolate finish.

In the Bannockburn neighbourhood of Central Otago, there is a winery called Felton Road. It is a well-known and well-respected winemaker in New Zealand, and its Pinot Noir wines are regarded as some of the best examples of that variety in the New World. Additionally, Riesling and Chardonnay-based wines are produced by Felton Road.
The estate is made up of four vineyards: the original Elms Vineyard, the MacMuir Vineyard, the Calvert Vineyard, and the Cornish Vineyard, all of which are located in Bannockburn on warm, north-facing slopes. The 'Block' series of wines are produced on the Elms grape, which was initially planted in 1992.
East Coast Cellars is proud to give you a very special journey through 3 consecutive vintages of one of New Zealand's most awarded Pinot Noirs.
