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.

“Willamette Valley and its sub-AVAs”. Part 2/4 “Willamette Valley and its sub-AVAs”. Part 2/4 . . Secondly, we have Ribbon Ridge AVA. It began as the southwestern part of Chehalem Mountains but has recently been recognized as a separate AVA. The uniqueness comes from both the shallow layer of uniformly oceanic sedimentary soils called “WillaKenzie” from the nearby Willamette and MacKenzie Rivers at top bedrock sandstone and the protection from weather patterns by the surrounding hills. Consisting of only 3500 acres, with less than 500 acres planted it’s the smallest AVA in the valley. . . Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noirs are smooth and supple with excellent balance of spice and elegant floral notes without the more acidic punch from many of its neighbors. Notable producers here are beauxfreres , patriciagreencellars , domainedivio , ayresvineyard , and trisaetum_winery . . . Yamhill-Carlton is nestled between the coastal range to the West and the Chehalem Mountains to the Northeast. The AVA is defined by a u-shaped series of hills and the Yamhill River running thru an area of over 60,000 acres with 1,200 acres of vineyards. Sitting in the rain shadow of the coastal range and the well-draining marine sedimentary soils are the keys to the wines.

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.

Trisaetum’s 2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is 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! #wine #winestagram #winesofinstagram #pinotnoir #redwine #oregon #porchtime #nwwines #summer #winelife #instawine #summervibes #winelover #oregonwine #winemoments #willamettevalley #drinklocal #dryfarmedvines #trisaetum #yamhillcarlton #ribbonridge #dundeehills

The vineyard was planted in 2003 with four clones of Pinot Noir on marine sedimentary soils. The vineyard is dry-farmed with sustainable principles. Hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, and 7% whole cluster fermentation. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels with 21% new oak· · 👁 Medium ruby· · 👃 Medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of wet rock, pomegranate, black cherry, black plum, chicory, sage, and prosciutto· · 👄 The wine is dry, medium+ acidity, medium- chalky tannins, medium+ alcohol (14.3%), and medium+ body. A medium+ length finish of wet rock and crunchy black fruit· · 🔔 The slightly herbal floral (that I referred to as Chicory above) on the wine is unique. The pervasive wet rock combined with the chalky tannins screams minerality. This Pinot Noir is more black-fruited. The palate has sophisticated tannins that slowly dry out your tongue, making you crave for more. This wine holds 14.3% ABV very well due to the concentration and overall weight of the palate without being heavy for a Pinot.

Rich dark cherry, fallen pine cone, pomegranate re Rich dark cherry, fallen pine cone, pomegranate reduction. Tart marionberry, candied violet, fresh raspberry puree. Morel mushroom and tree bark, vanilla powder and sea salt. Sweet strawberry, cranberry compote, and huckleberry preserve lead a deep and surprisingly dark-fruited attack offset subtly by fragrant natural tones of spruce and forest floor. Iris, chocolate orange, and cola converge with nutmeg and holiday spice to complement just a tinge of decadence that contrasts pleasantly against black olive and lightly savory notes. Sandy loam and dried seafloor impart impressions of soil that play well into the pretty, poised, and polished profile. While still quite young, primary, and driven largely by its fruit there is plenty palate weight to balance out ample structure. Nicely tart and dry sitting squarely at medium in body with elevated levels of both tannin and acidity. This 2014 Lewis Rogers Lane Pinot Noir by Ayres Vineyard is a layered and complex archetypal Ribbon Ridge red. . Located near the northwestern edge of Oregon's Willamette Valley just outside of Portland, Ribbon Ridge is a unique highly delineated subappellation that is putting out a slew of absolutely incredible wine. This bottling, crafted by Ayres Vineyard using Pinot Noir sourced from their estate in Ribbon Ridge, is an excellent example of the character of this small but interesting region. This wine exudes Ribbon Ridge's typical dark yet elegant fruit profile along with intriguing natural essences and even a bit of salinity from the area's marine sedimentary soils. At 6 years old it is barely starting to reveal delicate tertiary components thus promising many years of graceful improvement in the cellar. This is an excellent wine that precisely defines the delicious personality of Ribbon Ridge. .
