The 2017 Cornish Point Pinot Noir reveals a touch more oak than the regular Pinot Noir bottling, its red fruit notes taking on a bit of a glossy mocha sheen. It's not enough to detract from the quality of the underlying fruit, which showcases ripe cherries and raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, with a supremely silky, plush texture and a long finish, this wine should drink well for up to a decade from the vintage.

Plush and supple, with black licorice–scented black cherry and blueberry flavors and spice, vanilla and cherry cola accents smoothing out the edges. Appealing for the richness and depth. Drink now through 2028. 1,996 cases made, 142 cases imported.??–MW??Region: New Zealand / Central Otago Select to Add
