This Mendocino County property is owned by the Cliff Lede family, famous for its splendid Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. As it turns out, Lede also has a deft hand with Pinot Noir. The 2017 FEL Pinot from Anderson Valley is a seductive example, showing aromas of dark cherry and spice on the nose; a rich, juicy palate; and excellent persistence through the finish.
