RIBBON RIDGE WINES
A RICH TRADITION OF FAMILY-RUN VINEYARDS IN EVERY GLASS

The Ribbon Ridge Winegrower’s Association is a non-profit association dedicated to achieving recognition for one of Oregon’s most prestigious Pinot noir producing regions. The Ribbon Ridge American Viticultural Area (AVA) was established on July 1, 2005 and is a sub-AVA within the Willamette Valley. Its early drafters were wine country pioneers, Doug Tunnell, Harry Pederson Nedry and Dewey Kelly who are still members.

Barely-ripe raspberry, crushed rock, raw cranberry Barely-ripe raspberry, crushed rock, raw cranberry. Crisp watermelon, rosemary sprig, juicy white peach. Vibrant and zippy bursts of tart strawberry, underripe pomegranate, yellow cherry, and grapefruit zest highlight a crisp and surprisingly complex fruit core intricately embellished with hints of citrus blossom, pine needle, and pink sea salt. Delicate floral notes of jasmine, rose petal, and lavender emerge within wafts of dainty perfume that intertwines with fresh thyme in a lightly herbal twist. Subtle forest tones of evergreen and fallen leaves reveal a streak of mild organic charm while fresh salinity and stony minerals impart persistent blasts of remarkably clean earthiness. Elegant and expressive on the nose while remaining bright and focused on the palate; exhibiting crystalline purity and a uniquely mineral texture that is simultaneously thirst quenching and intriguing. Medium in body and perfectly balanced by near-electric high acidity. This 2018 Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir by Ayres Vineyard & Winery is a terrifically layered, energetic, and serious rosé from Oregon's Ribbon Ridge.  Although the Willamette Valley's tiny sub-appellation of Ribbon Ridge is known for producing tremendously ethereal and expressive Pinot Noir, this small but mighty region is also the home of some unquestionably impressive rosé. This bottling, crafted by Ayres Vineyard & Winery using Pinot Noir grown on their Ribbon Ridge estate, showcases an excitingly distinct and delicious take on classically-styled rosé. While certainly fresh, delicate, and refreshing this wine contains a cornucopia of wonderfully delineated fruit that marries incredible complexity and crispness. Its floral, forest, and herbal notes are particularly notable and combine with textured minerality to provide a special drinking experience. Outstanding.  Have you tried Oregon rosé? ayresvineyard

Sliced dark cherry, rose petal, fresh orange peel. Sliced dark cherry, rose petal, fresh orange peel. Sweet raspberry, dry leaves, ripe strawberry. Subtle cardamom and ground allspice, chopped wood and brown mushroom. A juicy and lifted fruit-focused bouquet explodes with candied cranberry, blueberry, and pomegranate; appearing extremely young, fresh, and primary while displaying nice tension and distinctly adolescent charm. Forest floor, stems, and bud wood reveal first signs of earthy nuance but are largely masked behind the strikingly pure yet restrained fruit. Mild clove, vanilla, anise, and exotic spice complement a dusting of delicate seasoning that again is no match for the youthful and backward berry-filled attack. Solidly medium in body with soft tannin and a jolt of refreshing acidity that keeps this balanced and elegant wine quite tart and crunchy. Enjoyable to drink now but absolutely nowhere near its peak. This 2017 "One" Pinot Noir by Ayres Vineyard & Winery well made and age-worthy Willamette Valley red from Ribbon Ridge. . While Pinot Noir can often be consumed young it typically takes time for this grape's best wines to reach their most complete and complex form. This bottling, crafted by Ayres Vineyard & Winery using Pinot Noir sourced from their estate vineyard in the tiny Ribbon Ridge appellation, is a great example of a wine that is clearly destined for greatness with time in the cellar. Although actually quite delicious to drink now this barely 2 year old wine is clearly still in its infancy, and would be an ideal candidate for many years of cellar aging to allow it to blossom. Open a bottle now and then again in 5, 10, and 15 years to follow this wine's evolution into something truly special. Excellent job here by Ayres. .

Wild blueberry, pine needle, tart dark cherry. Ora Wild blueberry, pine needle, tart dark cherry. Orange zest, turned earth, crunchy boysenberry. Snappy cranberry, black raspberry, and pomegranate highlight a gorgeously delicate and aromatic fruit core intricately complicated by evergreen, lavender oil, and forest floor. Beautiful organic tones of tree bark, tea leaf, and baby bella mushroom enhance the ethereal and expansive attack offset by notes of violets and blooming red rose. Cardamom and nutmeg converge with a pinch of allspice to provide additional layers of complexity as damp earth reveals one final tribute to terroir. Precise, lively, and perfectly balanced; exhibiting flawless typicity and wonderful restraint within its delightfully serious yet unintimidating profile. Medium in body with elevated tannin and bright acidity. This 2017 "Perspective" Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir by Ayres Vineyard is an impressively elegant, classic, and delicious red from the Willamette Valley. . Located in the northwestern corner of Oregon's Willamette Valley just southwest of Portland, Ribbon Ridge is a unique sub-appellation famous for producing darker-fruited Pinot Noir that expresses beautiful earth and spice characteristics. This bottling, crafted by Ayres Vineyard using Pinot Noir sourced from within Ribbon Ridge, spectacularly exemplifies the distinct personality of this region. While it contains no shortage of fresh and energetic berry fruit this wine manages to remain impressively delicate, conjuring just as much of its complexity through tones of soil, nature, and spice as from its fruit.

A fond and final farewell to team 2019! A few memb A fond and final farewell to team 2019! A few members of the squad have stayed on for our biggest bottling run of the year, but the real action is already beginning to feel like a distant memory. It was a vintage that will not soon be forgotten — quintessentially Oregon, it had a little bit of everything. It kept us on our toes at every turn and reminded us of what makes this region such a compelling place to produce wine. To each and every member of the team, thank you for leaving your unique mark on this place.

A fond and final farewell to team 2019! A few members of the squad have stayed on for our biggest bottling run of the year, but the real action is already beginning to feel like a distant memory. It was a vintage that will not soon be forgotten — quintessentially Oregon, it had a little bit of everything. It kept us on our toes at every turn and reminded us of what makes this region such a compelling place to produce wine. To each and every member of the team, thank you for leaving your unique mark on this place. You will be remembered and missed!
