This recipe was created exclusively to pair with a bottle of Cline Cellar's Cool Climate Pinot Noir. I created this recipe along with five others to feature on the back label of this wine bottle. (See my winning recipe: Burnt-Honey Gnocchi in Gorgonzola Sauce.)

This Pinot Noir has a nice acidity to it with lots of red fruit, toffee and a minty finish. The risotto — with the mushrooms and the chocolate — highlight the wines earthier notes.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Total time: 40 minutes
