Brancott Estate Marlborough Pinot Noir Red Wine 2011 shows full fruit flavors, complexity, and balance. The style of this wine is typical of fruit-driven Pinot Noir originating from their premium Marlborough vineyards.
Brancott Pinot Noir presents aromas of warm spicy oak, blackberries, and truffles. A savory core with nutmeg hints balances the lively plum, cherry, and raspberry notes. For the right length of palate and overall harmony, velvety tannins and bright acidity structure the wine beautifully. It has a vibrant, generous approach, displaying ripe, dark stone fruits, subtle oak spice, smooth tannins, and a long, concentrated finish-balancing structure with concentration.
This 2011 vintage Pinot Noir has bottled at 13% alcohol by volume. It is ideal with duck dishes, creamy cheeses like Brie, barbequed meats with a hint of smoke, and mushroom or green herb-based pasta dishes. Enjoy!
