2017 Cantina Tombacco Pecorino Abruzzo, Italy Pecorino
The name Pecorino means "little sheep" and is perhaps more widely associated with Pecorino cheese, which is made from ewes' milk and is entirely unrelated, save for its etymological link. The grape is so called supposedly because it was a favorite treat for flocks of sheep driven to lower pastures.
Medium bodied with great mineral notes and also a very nice and delicate explosion of exotic fruit like honeysuckle, pear and melon. Pecorino cheese is, coincidentally, a surprisingly good food match for Pecorino wine.

2017 Rock Point Oregon Pinot Noir Oregon, USA Pinot Noir
Rock Point Pinot Noir is an intriguing compilation crafted from all Rock Point Pinot clones and vineyard blocks.
A combination of barrel and stainless steel fermentation is used to preserve the maximum fruit intensity. Finished unfined with only rough filtration, resulting in full fruit and smooth tannins.
Opening with aromas of ripe strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry, the fruit elements are complemented with light floral aromatics. The vibrant red fruit flavors continue across the palate, with interest and complexity provided by layers of forest floor, spice and toasty oak. Supple tannins and balanced acidity provide an elegant frame for the rich ripe fruit of this classical Oregon Pinot Noir.
