Taking a sip of this wine is like walking your palate into one of those funhouse mirror mazes, except all the mirrors only reflect strawberries. Sometimes simplicity can be an end in itself in wine, and that’s why Jacob Martin Kinne put a picture of a strawberry on this label. Sure, there are hints of Rainier cherry; and a touch of forest floor and white pepper sneaks in as it opens up, but strawberries are the appetizer, the main course, and dessert here. Texturally, this is a silky and fresh beverage, transparent glowing ruby red, with a pithy touch of bitter tannins that build on the finish. Serve with just about anything, but keep a couple bottles ready for that traditional February burst of a few warm days between the rains.
Some of you might have recognized the name Kinne a few lines up. Jake is Matt Kinne’s son, whose McKinlay wines have quietly been the best value Pinot Noir in Oregon for a while now. Jake grew up in the winery, and he has inherited his father’s gift for making exceptional wine for even more exceptional prices.Subscribe to our newsletter
