I kind of knew that Jamie was going to come over once I told him Bill was joining me while our wives were in their book club. He made it for a taste of the Skewis (he has two bottles left), and brought an Oregon Pinot that we are going to put on the list at BONDA.
J. Christopher is one of my favorite producers of Pacific Northwest juice, both whites and reds. I usually feel the Pinots need some time in the bottle, but Mike told Jamie that is was ready to drink, so we did.
On the nose, burnt oak and wet cardboard - classic J. Christopher. On the tongue following with bran, raisin, light tannins supporting dark berries with a bit of a floral undertone. Not fruity at all, with a bunch of funk on the nose and hints of white pepper.
Bill called it "derelict" while Jamie preferred "a pretty chick in a Laura Ashley dress and a black leather jacket". Whatever that means, the wine is awesome and is going on the list next week.
