Silverwing 2004 Pinot Noir Yarra Valley

We are not big white wine drinkers. The occasional Chard or Sauvignon Blanc in the summer months is usually the extent of our white cellar. We prefer to pair the sweeter reds with dishes that most people might prefer to have with whites. As a result we are always delighted to find a red that is a value and can be served with chicken, fish or lighter pasta dishes. The 2004 Sliverwing Pinot Noir serves that role for us. It’s light but not in a watery way. The sweetness of the blackberry flavors comes through well and is balanced. The finish is long and very smooth. The wine comes from one of Australia’s cool climate growing areas that has a very good reputation for producing memorable wines. The wine in a great value for the price. Some might be off put by the screw top but it’s a solid choice for a house Pinot Noir.
