Wine Pick of the Week
Zoomer | February 23rd, 2013
Sileni The Plateau Pinot Noir 2011
Hawkes Bay, North Island, New Zealand
Rich cherry fruit that’s not heavy but I also like that there’s not too much acidity. Round and ready when you are. Medium- to full-bodied and luscious. Perfect for juicy roast chicken or the tarry darkness of grilled chicken.
