2024, Felton Road Cornish Point, Pinot Noir

Red cherry, plum and a hint of dried herbs open the nose in a delightfully fragrant manner. The aromatics deftly define the knife edge ripeness that’s critical for great Pinot Noir; dialled in with ease in the exceptional 2024 vintage. Cardamom, mace and cranberry make an appearance, followed by a finely poised mouthfeel. The silky tannins are luscious and sweet, providing backbone and length.

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 liquorice, 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. 94 Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate (2026).
