The 2018 Fel by Cliff Lede Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of its cool-climate origins, showcasing the region’s hallmark elegance and complexity. With a well-deserved score of 93 points from Wine Enthusiast and Tasting Panel, this wine reveals layers of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and subtle earthiness, complemented by hints of baking spice and a whisper of floral notes. The silky texture and vibrant acidity create a balanced palate that beckons for food—think roasted duck or a savory mushroom risotto. This Pinot Noir not only captivates with its flavor but also serves as a smart buy for quality, delivering exceptional character that outshines many in its price range.
