Right here’s a curious wine born from a partnership between music entrepreneur Jay Boberg and Burgundian winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo, which has been producing Oregon pinot noir within the Willamette Valley since 2014. “Which means “collectively” or “complete” in French, this cuvée brings collectively fruit from Jay and Jean-Nicolas’ favourite vineyards and one of the best ensuing barrels from every.”
Let’s strive it.
This classically styled Oregon pinot noir options a lot of cola and darkish cherry notes all through, winding its manner by way of a reasonably acidic physique to a end that finally options notes of milk chocolate, almond, and a slug of licorice. The wine is rarely earth-shattering, but it surely options nearly all the pieces you count on from the Oregon pinot expertise — and it pairs very nicely with meals.
