Tasting Notes: 

Notes of cherry cordial, raspberry jam, and pomegranate juice, followed by an earthy, slightly peppery finish, it pairs well with, well, just about anything.

Sipwell Wines: 

Sipwell wines is a female founded, black owned wine company that specializes in producing award winning canned wines. All of the grapes for their wines are sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the central coast of California and all of their sparkling wines are naturally can conditioned. All of their wines come in these single-serve aluminum cans that are infinitely recyclable and easily portable. 

Each can is 250 ml or 1/3 of a bottle of wine. 3 cans = 1 bottle of wine, 6 cans = 2 bottles of wine. 

Pinot Noir: 

Pinot Noir is also a cool climate grape, which makes it unlike any of the other classic red varieties. And it is able to ripen relatively quickly in cooler climes because of its thin skins. It is those thin skins that lead to lighter wines with minimal pigmentation and lighter tannins. While tannins normally provide the structure for most red wines, Pinot Noir acid serves this purpose instead.

The best Pinot Noirs showcase flavors of warm cherries, damp earth, mushrooms, chocolate, leather, and dried leaves. And among all that, they are driven by a central core of acidity, which is one of the reasons they are some of the most flexible wines for food. One of the best ways I have heard Pinot described is as a white wine in red clothing. It is essentially the best of both worlds, the clean, bright acidity of a white wine mixed with the complexity of fruit and earth of a red.

Canned Wines: 

While still somewhat controversial there are a lot of benefits for canned wines. In terms of sustainability- Aluminum cans are lighter than bottles. That means that they can be transported using less energy whether that transportation be direct to the consumer or to and from the winery or to different warehouses along the distribution process. 

Some other benefits of canned wine includes the different sizes of cans. You can find anything for 187ml cans to 500ml. Though I would say the vast majority of the ones I see on the market are either a typical beer soda can size of 350ml or actually becoming more common is a 250ml size more suited to single servings. 

And finally, canned wines also eliminate the issues / risks of cork taint which spoils 2-3% of all wines. As well as the risks of oxidation and light penetration. 

Food & Wine Pairing: 

Pinot Noir goes well with so many things, from a cheese plate to a piece of grilled meat, from chicken to fish. They are especially lovely with mushrooms, other vegetables and anything else with a little earthy note. But the beauty of Pinot is that there are so many different styles and they are endlessly adaptable. That is why Pinot Noir is a perfect wine to order in a restaurant setting when everyone is ordering something different.
