Ridgecrest Vineyard

Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir

Chehalem Ridgecrest Vineyard Pinot Noir is a stunning red wine that beautifully captures the essence of the Ribbon Ridge region. This medium-bodied delight showcases a lovely balance of bright acidity, lending a refreshing quality that makes each sip truly invigorating. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of luscious cherry, raspberry, and subtle notes of spice that dance harmoniously on the palate. Tannins are well-integrated and provide a gentle structure, enhancing the wine's elegance without overpowering its fruit-forward character. It exhibits a dry profile, allowing the complexity of flavors to shine and making it an excellent choice for various food pairings. This Pinot Noir is a true representation of its terroir, reflecting the thoughtful craftsmanship that has gone into its production.

Willamette Valley
Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
