Trisaetum’s 2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of the estate’s three vineyard sites, located in Yamhill-Carlton, Ribbon Ridge, and the Dundee Hills. Concentrated summer berries are balanced by a mild peppery spiciness and a clay-like minerality.  We picked up two bottles of this one, and tucked one away to lay down for a few years.  I will be curious to compare the differences later on.  We also have a Trisaetum Riesling that I am looking forward to opening soon.  Happy Monday!

2017 Trisaetum - Ribbon Ridge Estate Dry Riesling (88 pts) ·
·
🙋‍♂️ What is your favorite new world Riesling❓·
·
ℹ️ This wine is 💯 Riesling that is estate grown in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, Oregon. Ribbon Ridge AVA is the smallest AVA in Oregon that is defined by a unique high quartz marine sedimentary soil. Ribbon Ridge Estate is a 46 acre site, but only 17 acres are planted. Of the 17 acres, 2 acres are dedicated to Riesling. This is the warmest of the 3 estate vineyards owned by Trisaetum. The vineyard is sustainably and dry-farmed in alignment with their Stewardship Statement. Fermentations took place in a variety of vessels - 70% neutral oak casks, 20% in steel barrels, and 10% in concrete eggs. There was a total of 89 different ferments 😮. All used native years and then spent 6 months in barrel on fine lees·
·
👁 Pale lemon color·
·
👃 Medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of green apple, nectarine, peach skin, lime blossom, acacia, lemon curd, lemon pith, yogurt, and wet rock·
·
👄 The wine is dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, and medium body. A medium length finish of nectarine, lime blossom, and a slight saltiness·
·
🔔 I was excited to try a Riesling from Trisaetum because they are often critically acclaimed and this was my first one. My initial impression is that this didn't have the typical high acidity that most Rieslings have, it was still medium+ though. Additionally, it had more weight than I was expecting. This is solid and I think I need to taste more Ribbon Ridge Rieslings to form an opinion if it has telltale distinctions that clearly differentiate it against other regions. It's always hard not compare any Riesling to those from Germany. ...

The pre-Thanksgiving winery open houses certainly lived up to the hype yesterday! I feel like I need to train for that better next year. 😂 We were ambitious and stopped by:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
alexanawinery where the GSM was our favorite of the day - surprising for me! Paired with chocolate truffles put it over the top. ⁣🍷⁣
⁣⁣
coleneclemens for the most amazing spread of food. Tasting the 2011 Victoria was a real treat as well as the 2016 Max.⁣ 🥧🦀⁣
⁣⁣
domainedivio for the release of the latest Toison D'Or Pinot Noir - the best of the best barrels selected by their winemaker, Bruno. Also pre-ordered their new bubbles that will be released in just a couple of weeks. 🎉⁣
⁣⁣
hazelferncellars was last but certainly not least! Everything we tasted was stunning from their winter rosé to the release of Noir and everything in-between. The overall experience and vibe here are always something special. ♥️ ⁣

I also got to meet IG friend, westcoastwineguy, while out - a pleasure meeting and talking with you! 😃⁣

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. This is an extremely balanced and delicious offering that punches well above its modest weight. Excellent.

Let’s raise a glass to Friday, shall we?! ⠀⠀
This weekend is going to be a busy one in the Willamette Valley, jam-packed with tons of fun Pre-Thanksgiving events and opportunities to stock up on wine for the holidays. I’m having a hard time narrowing down the list of events I want to attend, though these are my top contenders:
⠀⠀
• Flâneur Thanksgiving Wines, Saturday & Sunday 11-4 at the Grain Elevator. Flâneur will be pouring their ‘16 Couvee Constantin Pinot Noir (and others), which was named one of the best wines for Thanksgiving by foodandwine Magazine. Entry is $30, or complimentary for club members.
⠀⠀
• Beauxfreres Pre-Thanksgiving Open House, Saturday from 10 to 3. This annual event is a rare opportunity to drop in to the normally by appointment only winery, and one of the only times that you can also taste sequiturwine & coattailswine at Beaux Fréres. $25, complimentary for club members.
⠀⠀
• delancellottiwines Pre-Thanksgiving Open House Friday & Saturday 11-4, pouring new releases. $30, free for club members.
⠀⠀
• hundredsunswine Fall Tasting, Saturday 12-3 at their winery - Gamay, Grenache, and hats!

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.

Say hello to Penny Pinot, the now official name of our first-ever full-time winery cat. She’s acclimated herself to the action around here quite quickly, being just enough of a rascal and a renegade to fit right in with our motley crew of creatures. Keep an eye out for her on your next visit — she just might sneak away from her winery patrol and say hello.
