Ironstone Pinot Noir

This inaugural release of Pinot Noir gives you seductive aromas of luscious black cherries mixed with cloves, spice and a touch of vanilla. These are followed by a well-rounded and supple cherry and plum flavor with a bit of earthiness. Soft tannins and a smoky and black tea-tobacco note finishes this full flavored wine deliciously.
Our Pinot Noir is a perfect wine to serve with dishes pork roast, duck breasts, marinated skirt steaks, a fall glazed ham, lentil curry, mushroom bruschetta or a beautiful grilled salmon steak.

Blend: 83% Pinot Noir, 11% Syrah, 6% Petite Syrah

Region Description

(pee noh nwahr)—A tricky grape to grow, Pinot Noir makes some of the best wines in the world. The prototype wine is red Burgundy from France but Oregon, California, New Zealand, and parts of Australia also produce good Pinot Noir. The wine is lighter in color than Cabernet or Merlot with relatively high alcohol, medium-to-high acidity, and medium-to-low tannin. Its flavors and aromas can be very fruity or earthy and woodsy, depending on how it is grown. It is rarely blended with other grapes.
