Deep in color, the 2017 Ferrington offers a sense of mystery. The aromatics showcase concentrated red fruits, dried flowers, and a punch of zest. With aeration, savory notes of fennel and thyme emerge. The large clonal diversity of Pinot Noir planted at Ferrington yields multilayered, complex wines. Red fruit and acidity offer juiciness and focus to this wonderfully balanced wine and subtle hints of bergamot tea are found on the finish.
2017 Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir
Reviews
94 / Vinous
The 2017 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard is another absolutely gorgeous wine in this range. Pliant, racy and succulent, the 2017 has so much to offer. Sweet red and purplish berries, spice and lavender open up first, with a kick of bright blood orange-infused acids that perk up the flavors. Soft curves and ripe, silky tannins make the 2017 impossible to resist. This is such a gorgeous wine. A.G.
91 / California Grapevine
Medium-light to medium ruby; attractive, deep, fairly intense, cherry and red berry fruit aroma with floral notes and hints of dried herbs, baking spices and mocha; medium body; richly layered, red fruit flavors with bright acidity, hints of raspberry liqueur, and some plushness in the mouthfeel; medium tannin; lingering aftertaste. Enjoyable now, though deserves several more years of bottle aging. Very highly recommended. 91
92 / Wine Spectator
Mouthfilling flavors of dark cherry, plum tart and blackberry are supported by medium-grained tannins and bright acidity. The finely textured finish offers sandalwood notes and hints of cream, as well as minerally accents. Drink now through 2024. 844 cases made. –KM
