Felton Road 2021 Cornish Point Pinot Noir 750ml

The 2021 Pinot Noir Cornish Point holds itself like a ballerina, poised and tall although this ballerina has more flesh on its bones than you'd see at the royal ballet. It has a curved mid-palate but stays light on its feet, tip-toeing through the mouth. Herbal flavors sit alongside the red rather than black cherry fruit, dark chocolate and coffee grounds. The conclusion is fresh and finely textured.
