Noir Thrills
Rickshaw Pinot Noir delivers $35+ Pinot Noir character on a Monday night (or wedding!) budget. The first sniff and sip make its foggy origins abundantly clear. In fact, small Sonoma Coast vineyards make up 75% of the blend, which is the secret to its magical taste.
Whether you are stocking up for the end of winter, gearing up for spring, thinking about a big party on the calendar, or just love California Pinot Noir, Rickshaw’s killer 2013 is a strong option at a reasonable price.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Garnet red. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Red fruits, black tea, graham cracker crumbs, cocoa dust. |
| Taste: | Strawberry and black cherry with signature Pinot Noir seasonings of tea and autumn forest floor. It’s juicy and bright, but well-stuffed with ripe flavor. |
| Finish: | Vibrant and velvety smooth. What a great balance of freshness and polish. |
| Pairing: | There are many simple and perfect partners. Grilled salmon, a roasted chicken, take-out Vietnamese meat skewers, or a mushroom pizza, to name a few. |
