RATINGS

96James Suckling

...aromas of sweet baking spices, fresh and poached cherries, flowers and wild herbs...smooth-honed and balanced palate has such supple, enveloping fruit flesh. This is so deliciously fresh and composed.

94Wine Spectator

...rich fruit, featuring orange blossom aromas and notes of ripe blueberry and raspberry, laced with hints of white pepper and bay leaf.

94Vinous / IWC

Expressive red and blue fruits, incense and candied flowers on the expansive, seductively perfumed nose... Sappy, alluringly sweet and finely detailed on the palate... Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing with solid, spicy thrust, resonating florality and smooth, harmonious tannins.

93The Wine Advocate

...scents of fresh cranberries and blackberries with accents of tea leaves, woodsmoke and earth...palate is delicately styled, seamlessly fresh and gently grainy with loads of nuanced flavors on the long finish.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge

Willamette Valley AVA was established in 1983, and it is the oldest appellation in Oregon. Oregon’s modern wine industry began in the Willamette Valley in the 1960s when artists, vagabond winemakers, and U.C. Davis oenology graduates looking for new territory started their own, small, off-the-grid wineries. The appellation is the state’s largest, and it extends 175 miles from Columbia River on the Washington/Oregon border to just south of Eugene, near central Oregon. The Willamette River runs through the area, helping to give the appellation a mild year-round climate. There are six smaller sub-appellations within this AVA, but altogether the Willamette Valley has the largest concentration of wineries in Oregon, as well as the majority of the state’s most famous producers. Pinot Noir is king here, followed by Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. To most admirers of Oregon Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley offers the most distinctive wine choices in the state.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
