Birthday Dinner and Rex Goliath


My fiancé's birthday was on Thursday, so I made his favorite dinner. This was the wine we had with it. 
Name: Rex Goliath
Variety: Pinot Noir
Vintage: Not Vintaged
Region: California
Country: United States
Price: $8
Store Review: With an intense American and French oak regime and careful maturation, this wine truly expresses Pinot Noir varietal character. Deep red color and pleasant aromas are offset by a dry, harmonic blend of black cherry with a touch of vanilla that stays on the tongue to produce a pleasant finish. With true varietal flavors and an easy drinking and fruit-forward profile, it reaches a fine balance between soft and subtle, and complex and BOLD.
Personal Review: Fairly full bodied. Reminded me of cherries and maybe some ripe plums. 
Food pairing: We had this one with my fiancé's favorite dinner. Smoked pork loin, mashed potatoes and peas. We also had chocolate mousse for dessert, and it went great with all of it.
