Beguiling pinot noir with an intense and seductive aroma suggesting red rose, violet and ripe black cherry. Mixed spices are more evident on the palate, which reveals fine, silken tannins and a very lengthy finish. An utterly charming wine that is delicious now but may become even more interesting in time.

A very vibrant and ripe Calvert with attractively spicy oak integration, as well as abundant red and dark cherries. Super fragrant. The palate is so silky and plush, packed with concentrated, fresh red-cherry flavor. Blueberry finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2019 Calvert Pinot Noir is harmonious and supple on the nose. There is plenty of fruit ripeness and tannic complexity to sit and look at, while the combination of all aspects working as a whole makes for intriguing drinking. The screw cap is a wonderful invention for the protection of fruit freshness, and its impact on the wine here is evident and welcome. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin

This is a pup of a Pinot Noir, full of youthful vigor. In addition to its floral and cherry-infused nose, there is a bouquet garni of woody herbs, which could be partly explained by a 25% whole bunch component, as well as in-bunch variation, which was a signature of this vintage at Felton Road, according to winemaker Blair Walter. While silken and satisfying, there is an innate energy and this youthful expression has a brace of gravelly tannins that build toward the end. The sinewy, fragrant and fresh finish provides line and length. Far too young to be approaching. Give it a minimum of 2 years to get into its groove. -- Rebecca Gibb MW
