Ravines 2019 Pinot Noir alongside hubby’s cheese selections.

For food we have from left to right:

– Brie with soy sauce, honey, and walnuts
– Sliced rosé cheddar
– Feta cheese with lemon juice, garlic, and thyme
– Regular cheddar
– Roasted peanuts

I am still new to wine tasting so pardon my vague notes, but here goes!

On the nose: cherry, raspberry, moss, and a hint of blueberry.

On the palate: smoky, black pepper and wood. Medium-bodied with bold acidity. When paired with the rosé cheddar, the acidity instantly softened down.

We experimented with the peanuts and found that eating them first helped dry out the mouth. We would then sip the Pinot and were able to taste the flavors much deeper. Overall, a very lovely and mature wine we both enjoyed.
