Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Twomey Cellars by Silver Oak Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.
Twomey Cellars by Silver Oak Russian River Pinot Noir
Our 2009 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has a ruby color with purple highlights and a complex nose of fresh rose petals, lilacs, candied apples, sweet baking spices and a hint of peppermint. It has a rich, broad attack on the palate and notes of caramel, butterscotch and ripe, red fruit. This expressive wine has a balanced finish of fruit, spice, bright natural acidity and fine grained tannins.
