Jigsaw Pinot noir 08
Jigsaw Pinot noir 08 - from Ransom Wines - Bright red cherries and crushed blueberries with a hint sanguine minerality on the nose. The black and red fruits softly cover the palate with gentle hints of iron and mineral towards the finish. A medium long finish that ends with plums and hints of an earthy terroir. - the winery
Vineyard Sources: Temperance Hill (Eola Hills), JMD (Eola Hills), Cattrall, Zielinski (Eola Hills), North Ridge (Salem), Coelho (Coastal Flats), several other vineyards throughout Oregon that complete the puzzle.
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.

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.
