Medium-bodied, with berry, tea leaf and earthy aromas characteristic of Pinot Noir. Dry, light ruby in color, with berry and cherry flavors and hints of earth and mushrooms. Great value, with real Pinot personality - perfect with broiled salmon, chicken and veal.
VINIFICATION TECHNIQUE
Best grown in cooler climates, Pinot Noir is well suited to many areas of New York State. Sourcing from a variety of growers, including our own Hudson Valley vineyard, helps Brotherhood achieve complexity in the wine while the warm fermentation and gentle handling of the fruit preserves the delicate character of Pinot Noir. Malolactic fermentation and extended barrel aging round out the wine.
SENSORIAL DESCRIPTION
Thanks to the knowledge and expertise of our winemakers, we have crafted this Pinot Noir in the style of a true Burgundian Pinot Noir. This wine is light brick red in color, has a nose of fresh berries and plums, with a hint of violets. It also displays bright fruit flavors of cranberry, cherry and black tea, which create a light to medium bodied wine with layered complexity staying true to form.
ACCOLADES
Highly praised by those who know Burgundy style wines, considered the gold standard for New York Pinot Noir! Recognized as the best Pinot Noir from New York at the 2010 Tasters Guild International.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Pinot Noir is considered the ultimate food wine because it complements everything from salmon to chicken, veal to beef and pairs perfectly with any dish that features mushrooms. Excellent with cheeses such as Brie, Jarlsberg and aged cheddar and is a natural partner for “Boeuf Bourguignon”.
