Deep-tinted pinot noir with black doris plum, dark cherry and berries, together with a seasoning of five-spice. Quite firmly structured with underlying complexity that promises to reveal itself with bottle age. A seriously good pinot noir.

Heady violets, undergrowth and spiced sour cherries with vitality and vibrancy through the palate. Sinewy tannins, roasted nut oak tones and nervy acidity hold up the complex, rippling flavours of black cherry, plum compote, autumn leaves and earthy minerals. Bursting with potential; give it time. (Drink between 2022-2032)

A perfumed nose of strawberries, sour cherries, raspberries, violets, vanilla and baking spices. It’s medium-to full-bodied with lively acidity and fine tannins. Balanced and compact with a velvety texture and a bright core of fruit on the mid-palate. Long finish. Chewy. Needs a few years to soften, but already impressive. Screw cap.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Bannockburn is welcoming as well as rich, savory and sinewy, delivering a plump cloud of both lifted and brooding fruit: a portion of whole-cluster fermentation has brought herbal and violet high notes alongside red and black cherry. There's excellent concentration despite this being the entry to the Felton Pinot range, and fine, lightly furry tannins on the medium-long finish. This could be approached now, but it’s better to wait a couple of years to let the components settle. (Drink between 2022-2030) - Rebecca Gibb MW

The 2020 Bannockburn Pinot Noir is abundant and satisfying, with a core of huddled red fruits on the mid-palate. The wine is ripe and ample through the finish, giving the wine a rounded shape in the mouth. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin
