Ayres Vineyard & Winery is boutique family owned p Ayres Vineyard & Winery is boutique family owned producer making wine primarily from their 38 acre estate vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge sub-appellation of the Willamette Valley. After purchasing the property in 2000 owners Brad and Kathleen McLeroy converted it from a defunct hazelnut farm into a Pinot Noir-centric vineyard, and they have been making exceptional wine from the site ever since. We had the opportunity to visit Ayres Vineyard to explore their estate and taste through their delicious wines, and we were struck with tremendous appreciation for this wonderful operation and the unique terroir of Ribbon Ridge. We look forward to writing in great detail about our visit, but for now he're is a teaser shot of the Ayres lineup of reds taken as we tasted and enjoyed them outside at the property. .

Drink now through 2026." 96 pts. Tim Fish, Senior Editor wine_spectator . . Our cherished, enigmatic 10-acre site continues to inspire and surprise us. Its sweet earth and spice aromas always prevail, yet in this vintage we discovered a new bouquet of wildflower blooms — a welcome evolution, or perhaps a signature of the vintage. The palate shows hallmark depth and balance, with candied berry, granite, and a waft of expertly roasted coffee. Long, lithe tannins carry the composition to an electric finish.

Smashed cranberry, forest after rain, tart raspber Smashed cranberry, forest after rain, tart raspberry. Almost-ripe cherry, fresh lavender, juicy mulberry. Ground cardamom and white pepper, wild poppies and rose hip tea. Pure, tart, and lively berry fruit bursts with beautiful primary intensity, spilling farmstand strawberry, blueberry, and blood orange with unpretentious elegance. Violets appear and lead a waft of fragrant flower garden aromatics through evergreen, sage, and crispy forest air aided by a pleasant whiff of sweet tobacco. Lightly spiced, exuding just a dash of cumin that muddles cohesively with saline sandy earth and fine-grained soil. Clean, classic, and quite restrained without ever losing focus on temptingly pristine fruit. Medium in body with medium tannin and medium plus acidity. This 2017 Chehalem Mountains Gamay Noir by Ayres Vineyard is a beautifully balanced and wonderfully delicious wine from the Willamette Valley's other red grape. . Pinot Noir may be the king of Willamette Valley reds, but it by no means is the only red wine grape that thrives in the vineyards of Northwestern Oregon. This bottling, crafted by Ayres Vineyard using Gamay sourced from within the Chehalem Mountains sub-appellation of the Willamette Valley, proves that this humble grape from Beaujolais has exciting potential in one of America's most famous cool climate regions. While not quite as lifted or ethereal as Pinot Noir can be this wine is bursting with oodles of unique character and personality. It is exceedingly juicy and delicious maintaining exceptional balance while expressing complex notes of forest and earth throughout. Ayers treats their Gamay nearly exactly like their Pinot Noir during vinification and up until bottling, and they have managed to create an extremely impressive offering here. .

Tonight was a night where life came full circle. Tonight was a night where life came full circle. About 6 years ago, I was offered an incredibly generous scholarship so I could join the George Fox Art Department. I had never dreamed I could go to such a place because of my lack of funding. It was a dream come true! Those two years in the Art Department changed my life 💗 Today I got the opportunity to help another student like me. Some of the most kind people I know planned a beautiful dinner night to raise funds to help a new friend stay in the art department. Tonight was an incredible night of sharing stories, raising money, and celebrating together! I got to paint for this event 💗 This painting sold for $3000 and created a new scholarship... like the one that was given to me! I cry just thinking about it! Only 6 years later I get the opportunity to be the person to help someone in my same spot. Good things come to those who hope. Generosity can change someones life. #artchangeslives #christinejoypaintings #fineart #artistlife #vineyardpainting #oregonwine #ribbonridge #chehalemmountains #allaprima #acrylicpainting #northwestisbest #oregonwinecountry #landscapepainting #livepainting #eventpainting

Beaux Frères Vineyard & Winery got its start in 1 Beaux Frères Vineyard & Winery got its start in 1986 when Michael Etzel discovered and purchased an abandoned pig farm with the hope of one day turning it into a world class Pinot Noir vineyard. Thanks to hard work, perseverance, and magnificent terroir located in what would become the Ribbon Ridge appellation of the Willamette Valley, Beaux Frères has now become one of the marquee Pinot Noir producers in all of Oregon. . We had the pleasure of visiting the Beaux Frères estate during our time in the Willamette Valley and were struck by the remarkable wines making their way out from this small but mighty operation. Theirs are dense, powerful, and age-worthy iterations of Pinot Noir that maintain extraordinary ethereal elegance along with impressively full-throttle intensity. These wines are simply unlike anything else we've experienced from Oregon or elsewhere and sitting down to work our way side-by-side through their lineup was a riveting experience. For those looking for ultra-premium Willamette Valley Pinot Noir there may be no better choice than the wines of Beaux Frères; you'll surely enjoy trying them as much as we did. .

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. .

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.

To each and every member of the team, thank you for leaving your unique mark on this place. You will be remembered and missed! . . #oregon #harvest2019 #vintage2019 #winemaking #willamettevalley #ribbonridge #beauxfreres #farm #people #wine
