Fried Chicken and Pinot Noir

Today's wine for the tasting: Bespoke Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2013


It has low tannin, nice acid, characteristics of red fruits like raspberry and red cherry, and rose.
You can taste the oak but it's not overpowering.
Easy to drink fruit-forward New World Pinot Noir.
Nice wine.

JC cooked Fried Chicken for this wine.
Chicken was very soft: it was marinated in yogurt with salt and herbs before fried.
The acid of the wine cut the greasiness, and the sweetness of fruit eased the saltiness of chicken.
Very good pairing!
