Nov 16th, 2017Armstrong Vyd Ribbon Ridge AVA. Dense purple in color. Briar and mint notes in nose. Briar, spearmint, raspberry and blueberry in mouth. Large grain astringency on front quarter of tongue. Solid basic Oregon Pinot noir - it's about the fruit, not the oak, here

Loaded with that Oregon earth. So, so good with Bourbon Orange Salmon. Fired up the grill for the first time this year. WooHoo.

Big, but not out of balance. Great nose. Soft in the middle (In a good way) with strong red fruit front and back. Good stuff.
