Pairing 1: Pinot Noir
Nose: Fruity, sweet, dark berries, cherry, no tannins
Taste: Very sweet, mild tannins, plum, cherries, strawberry, oak, vanilla, heavy
Cheese: Murray Honey Goat Gouda, Artikaas smoked Gouda, Point Reyes Tomarashi
Pairing:
Murray Honey Goat Gouda: Really good pairing, sweetness and saltiness of cheese pairs well with Pinot noir. Wine tastes sweeter and more fruity without being overpowering, cheese tastes saltier and milder.
Artikaas Smoked Gouda: kind of tastes like a hot dog alone. Wine tastes really good with smokiness, accentuates spices and vanilla. Cheese tastes creamier and saltier.
Point Reyes Tomarashi: I really didn't like this cheese. I don't have any pairing notes because I could barely stomach the flavor.
4.1/5 I really like this wine and I would happily have it again.
Pairing 2: Grenache
Nose: Floral, spiced, weak nose, cherry
Taste: Dry, minerals, non sweet berries, oak, earth, very smooth, non complex, thin
Pairing:
Murray Honey Goat Gouda: wine tastes sweeter, fruitier, removes acidity and spices
Artikaas Smoked Gouda: wine tastes heavier and sweeter
Point Reyes Tomarashi: wine almost loses all flavor, spices mix together and wine tastes like blackberry water
Pairing 3: Bordeaux Rouge
Nose: Fruity, sweet, tannic, blackberry, red berries
Taste: Hot, heavy, tannic, fruity, sweet, lots of flavors
