Giveaway: Allan Scott The Hounds Marlborough Pinot Noir 2011

Nothing says warm winter nights in our house better than a truly exceptional Pinot Noir, usually teamed with and equally wonderful meal and a soft, cosy rug. It is my favourite wine variant by far, and I’m super fussy about my favourite tipples so when a winner comes my way I am fast a loyal fan.

The latest I’m getting excited about is Allan Scott The Hounds Marlborough Pinot Noir 2011, which is a riot of rich Marlborough dark cherry and raspberry notes with hints of wild herbs. In essence, the perfect partner for elegant winter dining.  An ideal match for rare beef or rich, gamey meats such as wild venison or - a favourite round ours - indulgent blue cheese, it is what you need to be pouring as the mercury drops with its bold, elegant flavours and subtly oaky finish. I’m getting thirsty just writing about it!

Allan Scott The Hounds Marlborough Pinot Noir 2011 (RRP $31) and the full range of Allan Scott Wines are available from Glengarry Wines and online at www.allanscott.com, and - conveniently -  I have three bottles of this delicious little number to give away to lucky readers.
