Acrobat Oregon Pinot Noir 2009
Wine & Spirits: Rated as Exceptional examples of their type. "As bright and fruity as a Beaujolais, this youthful Pinot leads with scents of raspberries and red cherries and a woodsy bottom note. The flavors are light and fresh, the fruit giving way to a mild amaro-like bitterness. A great Pinot to stock up on." Apr 2011
Winery: "Color: bright garnet with ruby tint. Nose: sweet cherry, tobacco, earth, raspberry, oak, floral notes. Flavors: blueberry, dried cherry, chocolate, spice. Mouthfeel: silky mouthfeel, lively mid-palate, round finish. The grapes come from our organic estate vineyards and other sustainably farmed vineyards throughout Western Oregon." Wired For Wine: You're going to flip for this Acrobat Pinot Noir from Oregon. Enjoy the delicious of your first glass with goat cheese-stuffed figs wrapped in prosciutto. The bright fruit, floral, earth and oak notes, and whisper of spice come together beautifully to make this fresh Pinot perfect with salmon, duck, lean beef, pork loin and much more. Bring out the gentle spice of this Acrobat with bacon-wrapped salmon with a cumin demi glaze. Grilled flank steak with soy-glazed green beans is an easy choice sure to please. If you're looking for something a little more fancy, we love the earthy side and the red fruit of this Oregon red with rosemary crusted rack of lamb, shallot marmalade, and a white bean ragout. Open another bottle and savor it with a velvety Swiss Forsterkase cheese. It's spicy, woody and potent, and paired with this Acrobat, has been known to inspire spontaneous cartwheels.
