Acrobat is Oregon wine, but it’s produced and bottled by Acrobat Winery in Geyserville and Healdsburg in Northern California. Their full-flavor 2019 Pinot Noir usually sells for around $20, but you might find it on sale for under $16.
“Acrobat is a wine born to introduce people to the drinkability of Pinot Noir,” Acrobat says. “Responsibly grown in the breathtaking hills and valleys of Oregon, this wine is excellent with food and equally enjoyable on its own. It comes with style and grace and is life in balance.”
And it comes with an easy-to-open screw cap.
Wine Enthusiast says that this Pinot is fragrant and spicy, with ripe berry fruit and an “earthy stiffness” that comes up with the tannins. “It will knock it out of the park with salmon,” they add, awarding the wine 90 points. acrobatwine.com.
