Tasting Notes

A fragrant nose with aromas of cranberries, wild strawberries, sour cherries, dried orange rind, dried herbs and spice box. Medium-to full-bodied with crisp acidity and fine tannins. Structured and crunchy. Lovely texture. Mineral and fleshy with a long, flavorful finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2020 Cornish Point Pinot Noir has sweet roasted meats, pepper-rolled pastrami and Szechuan spice on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is more delicate and finer than expected from the aromatics, and it is supported by the cooling acidity in providing freshness and repose from some of the more savory characters in the wine. A lovely juxtaposition. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
