Note di degustazione
Very good vintage for Central Otago even though it was notoriously difficult in northern wine regions such as Hawkes Bay. Marked diurnal temperature variation. Felton Road’s change of direction started here. Perfumed and round and fresh. Lovely balance and a dry, appetising, stony finish. Very 21st century and refreshing. Long. Somehow stony tasting. (JR)

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2012 Cornish Point Pinot Noir is scented of red plums, blackberries and wild blueberries with touches of dark chocolate, Szechuan pepper and black tea. Full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth, it has a solid backbone of medium to firm silky tannins and crisp acid, finishing with great length. Drink it now to 2021+.

Dark crimson. Heady and intense, with some smooth fruit, polished leather character and considerable juiciness. A charmer. (JR)
Full, deep red. Sexy raspberry and licorice aromas show a liqueur-like quality. Sweet, spicy and energetic, showing modest flesh and a piquant flavor of tart pomegranate. The brisk finish delivers an almost citrussy quality and excellent lift.
