One of a trio of wines made from an equal share from one vineyard by three producers; Felton Road, Craggy Range and Pyramid Valley. They are all excellent wines in remarkably different styles. This seems earthier and slightly more rustic than the others (I have yet to taste them together) although it has similar dark cherry and spice flavours. Sweet and silken fruit with a lengthy finish.

Tasted: Jan 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $52 (~USD $44)
