Red Truck Pinot Noir 2009 13 % alcohol about $9.
Let’s start with the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : Ruby red; sweet aromas of Bing cherry, strawberry, and floral; light bodied with gentle spice and vanilla flavours on the palate. Serving Suggestion : Serve with grilled salmon or tuna.” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was rather sweet with no tannins and light acidity. Japanese rice crackers sharpened the liquid’s acidity and brought out the strawberries. When paired with a barbecued chicken breast in a spicy skin I tasted plums and earth in this now powerful wine. A commercial potato salad with celery and onions gave Red the taste of chocolate and light acidity. The other side dish was roasted eggplant brimming with garlic. Now the Pinot Noir was refreshing yet weak.
