Website review:Dressed in fresh purple red colour, this is a voluptuous Pinot Noir with rich fruit notes of cherry, raspberry, plum and strawberry – a red fruit party! – enhanced by subtle smoked hints. In mouth sweet fruit notes stand out, and its fine tannins give it a great texture and a mouth filling structure. Balanced and New World styled, this is a wine of personality and elegance. Sexy, pure and simple, it’s a young and refreshing Pinot. Our Bicicleta Pinot Noir is a great choice for all sorts of pasta, grilled poultry, seafood and mild fish. It’s also excellent when accompanying dishes served with pesto sauces. If ordering in, mushroom pizza and sushi go great with this wine.
My review: Round 3 of WW. I thought this wine definitley smelled like cherry. It tasted like dark chocolate and plums. It was medium bodied and medium tannins. The review says it goes well with seafood and mild fish. I think it went really well with the shrimp! This was easy to drink but I've had better pinot noirs. Sorry not much more to say about it... this was after quite a few glasses and reminiscing with friends :).
Food: Grilled, Spiced Shrimp
