Rex-Goliath Pinot Noir

Tonight I poured Rex-Goliath Pinot Noir ($8) from California. It is aged in both French and American oak. This is a light bodied wine, with light flavors of cherry and a hint of oak.  A very versatile wine, it will pair easily with beef, pork, poultry, lamb, seafood, and veal.  Customers enjoyed this wine and it sold well.

Winemaker's Notes:  A deep red  color and pleasant aromas are offset by a dry, harmonic blend of black cherry and a touch of vanilla, which stays on the tongue—producing a pleasant finish. With true varietal flavors and an easy-drinking and fruit-forward profile, it reaches a fine balance between soft and subtle, and complex and BOLD. It’s the perfect wine for everyday drinking and can be paired with a wide variety of food: beef, veal, pork, lamb, chicken, and even fish. I imagine that you’d be hard-pressed to find a food pairing that doesn’t work with this wine.
