Brimstone Cellars Pinot Noir

Brimstone Cellars Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: Perhaps the most challenging yet most rewarding wine to grow and make, this Pinot Noir is hand picked from vineyards on the East side of Seneca Lake. The grapes are cold soaked prior to a warm fermentation on the skins. Constant attention is paid to the temperature and the “punching down” of the fermenting grapes to derive the optimal color, flavor and tannins. Pressed very softly and gravity racked to French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir undergoes ML fermentation in the barrels and is only racked once. Gentle yeast stirring for several months builds depth to the wines finish. This wine shows ripe cherry and raspberry aromas with a hint of smoky oak. With a rich mouth feel and supple tannins make this wine match perfectly with Salmon (either grilled or poached) and also savory lamb dishes.
