Cornish Point Pinot Noir, Felton Road 2024

This is so perfumed, with violet, fresh strawberry and black cherry aromas. It’s medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and a persistent and caressing finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2024 Cornish Point Pinot Noir is succulent and concentrated, with abundantly dark fruit, sappy tannins and baking spices. There are notes of star anise and sweet licorice, tapenade and mulberry, with dark chocolate to close. The fruit in the Felton Road Pinots this year feels starkly different in character than previous vintages, and I do not attribute this to any major change in the vineyard but rather an effect of the season. This is very good. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2034.
