Whistling Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir

Way too youthful. May develop over time but seems pretty lean now

Bright cherry and rhubarb nose with pretty reddish cherry fruit on the palate, mouthwatering acid works well against the fruit, pomegranate towards back of palate, persistent soft tannins. Me like.

Cranberry and raspberry, mineral, linear, pure 👌

tart but not overly so.
tiny bit sweet. minimal tannins.

Split. Ribbon ridge

Thanks you for helping me anxiety for patriots

Light extraction. Gingerbread spice.

Pretty solid Willamette Pinot. Really loved visiting and chatting with Marcus yesterday. Ripe but with nice structure and acid still, bit young and would be best a bit further down the road. Ripe cranberry, bing cherry, and raspberry, potpourri and drying rose floral notes, gravelly mineral earth, and a bit of clove and anise-y spice character. Medium (+) acid, medium (-) intensity of fine grained tannins, and medium (-) body but with great, soft texture. Versatile on the patio with an array of grilled sausage and brats.

Damn it, I didn't rate this when I drank it so I don't totally remember but I believe I wasn't super impressed.

As I expected, this is way too young. The structure is there, but Whistling Ridge is the one Matello/Goodfellow wine that IMO should rest for at least 5 - 6 years.
