Castle Rock’s Pinot Noir 2010 is a California Cuvee from Sonoma California. It’s beautifully acidic, with green apple skins, and sharp berries. The black cherry and blueberries are mouth-wateringly tart, with a leather suede lining that softens the wine opening it up to lavender. I had this wine with Chicken Parmesan, and it was a perfect mate. The acid cut through the fat of the chicken and cheese, and in turn, the fats softened the acid. That said, the Pinot Noir would have been nice on its own as well, but when you find better, why settle?
