Jigsaw Pinot noir 06 (Ransom Wine)
winery: Ransom and Jigsaw Wineries
A screaming deal from small McMinnville-based Ransom Wine. Fresh-picked raspberries and a hint of strawberry ooze from the glass, with nuances of spicy dried herbs. Not to repeat ourselves, but this is another one of those super silky, young 2006 Pinots that have us chomping for more.
The Winery Says: The Jigsaw style can be described as cerebral punk. We want aggressive aromas of red fruits, flowers and spice. The flavors should be intense and rich with a juicy mouth feel and supple texture. But balance is key. There must be harmony of ripe fruit, refreshing acidity and supportive tannins. We strive for complexity, layers of flavor and a long finish every vintage.
This style lends itself for drinking with a wide variety of cuisine. Pinot Noir can be one of the most versatile red wines with food. Some of our favorite pairings include grilled fish with fresh herbs, paella, wild mushrooms, meatloaf, anything braised or wrapped in bacon, as well as Thai and Indian takeout.
