Pinot Noir is a wine that is difficult
to make, but easy to love. We feel that Oregon, with
its cool and extreme climate is well suited for this
temperamental, enigmatic grape.
The Jigsaw style can be described as cerebral punk.
We want aggressive aromas of red fruits, flowers and
spice. The flavors should be intense and rich with a juicy
mouth feel and supple texture. But balance is key. There
must be harmony of ripe fruit, refreshing acidity and
supportive tannins. We strive for complexity, layers
of flavor and a long finish every vintage.
This style lends itself for drinking with a wide variety
of cuisine. Pinot Noir can be one of the most
versatile red wines with food. Some of our favorite
pairings include grilled fish with fresh herbs, paella,
wild mushrooms, meatloaf, anything braised or wrapped
in bacon, as well as Thai and Indian takeout.
