Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Alexana Revana Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 42 dollars per bottle.

Alexana Revana Vineyard Pinot Noir

#17 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2013The 2010 Revana Vineyard Pinot Noir is an excellentrepresentation of both the vintage and the Revana Vineyard site.2010 was a challenging growing season, but with meticulousfarming and masterful winemaking, our blend of eight differentPinot noir clones produced an intense, complex and balancedwine. Bright, forward aromas of black cherry, dried herbal andfloral notes are lifted by molasses and anise blossom. Massiveblack cherry flavors are decadent and integrate well with spice,cola and cocoa tones. The texture is lush and rich, finishing withround soft tannins that provide perfect structure for cellaring.
