Brotherhood Pinot Noir

Cesar Beza was working the room last night. He is the grand man of the Hudson Valley. Everyone is always happy to see Cesar, he's like royalty as he walks through, suit and ties, smiling, and greeting people warmly.
And also there was Colleen, also the fun young presence of Brotherhood Winery.


As Cesar was working the room, Collen poured. He ventured back to the table several times, to talk up his wine. Chat a minute, and then went back to chatting with almost everyone there.

During the evening I tried the Brotherhood Pinot Noir. This is a light to medium bodied Pinot Noir, with a translucent warm red. The nose had cherry (and a touch of raspberry?) with dusty leaves and dried earth. The flavor was a light, stewed raspberries and cherries, with a flash of pepper at the end. A lovely, smooth, delicate Pinot Noir with great flavor.
