Winery Review- We source this Rickshaw Pinot from a variety of coastal cool-climate vineyards with a large percentage coming from the Sonoma Coast. The wine is fermented in small open-top vessels aged in stainless steel and high-end French oak barrels. As always, pure Pinot flavor and exquisite balance are the goals of this wine. Tasting Notes- During the season of 2021, California overall received almost no rain. the summer had mild temperatures, allowing fruit to hang a bit longer than usual. all of the vineyards and fruit load were managed according to how much water was available for that specific vineyard. There were a few hot spells early in the fall which quickened ripening and accelerated harvest season. The 2021 Rickshaw Pinot Noir is endlessly energetic. Bright red-fruit aromas of raspberries, strawberries, and Rainier cherries are complimented with notes of vanilla, cedar, and nutmeg. Toasted oak, light fruit, and spice flavors are persistent on the palate and met with elegant, rich medium-textured tannins and a long, silky finish.
Wine Folly- The world's most popular light-bodied red is loved for its red fruit and spice flavors that is accentuated by a long, smooth, soft-tannin finish. A versatile red wine for food pairing given the higher acidity and lower tannin. Pinot Noir tastes like it was meant for duck, chicken, pork, and mushrooms. (150)
My Review- I thoroughly enjoy this wine, gives a nice sweet fruity smell of berries on the first smell. After chewing it and getting the flavors throughout my mouth the berries are very prominent and give a sweet acidic flavor. The wine is semi-dry to my taste, even though I didn't pair this with anything i would suggest pairing it with some herb chicken that could match the lovely flavor.
