The spicy 2002 Feral Fox Pinot Noir possesses tangy, berry fruit, underbrush, and compost characteristics in addition to tart, underlying acidity, and a fine finish. It will drink well for 5-6 years.
Chester Osborn, the remarkable person behind this enormous array of both impeccably high quality and value-priced wines, deserves considerable accolades for what he is able to achieve at all price ranges. If you love Australian wines, d’Arenberg is a winery to seek out as these offerings all possess abundant soul as well as character. In short, the accolades that proprietor/winemaker Chester Osborn receives not only from The Wine Advocate, but virtually everybody in the wine world, are all well deserved.
