Wine suggestion: Black Stallion Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2022, item no. 2235
The fruity character of the wine wraps the dish phenomenally, while at the same time it easily captures the sweetness from the cheese and the dressing in an absolutely exemplary way, resulting in a winning combination and a clear choice now that summer is approaching. Both parts of Sonoma and Napa are represented in this wine’s grape origins, which offer a humble strength as well as mineral-toned tannins. This combined with the generous fruitiness of strawberries, cherries, blackcurrants, plums and ripe raspberries, as well as a vanilla-infused barrel finish where both tobacco and cigar leaves are present in the background, creates a beautiful symphony. The fruitiness is also appealing and is enhanced by a liquorice-note vibrato of dried herbs on a background of blood-citrus acid that adds edge and freshness.
