Vincent '15 Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge) - 13.1%
Appearance: Cloudy, magenta, medium light body
Nose: Spicy strawberry rhubarb
Taste: Soft initially with spicy jammy red fruits, rhubarb, strawberry, Rainier cherry, and some earthy loamy notes. Very mild tartness on the back end with good structure and mild tannins
Pop n' pour, drank over an hour or so and improved over time. First Vincent wine, and look forward to trying the Chardonnay, Blanc and Gamay - for the price this is a beauty that shows character of the Willamette finesse and soft, earthy subtlety. Pairing wasn't very well thought out, but we drank with a basil bechamel sauce over roasted cauliflower rice and ground veal and it worked surprisingly well.
