March 31, 2023 - Had at the tasting. The nose was quite open. Floral, strawberry. Beautifully weighted palate. Red fruit, not heavy but very graceful. Some earth, still good acidity, tannins still present. This can go definitely a few more years.
December 28, 2021 - Long to open. Delicious but never really came together. Probably needed more open time.
June 6, 2020 - Everyone remarked on the floral characteristics in the nose. Favorite wine of the blind tasting. Good length and well rounded.
March 21, 2020 - Wonderful. Drinking perfectly on pnp. Wish I’d held the rest til now!
June 2, 2019 - Delicious wine, very well made. Clean, bright, young but getting close to peak. Red fruits, hints of mushroom and floral notes, great acidity, traditional Oregon Ribbon Ridge profile. Very glad to have a couple more of these I can let sleep for another 5+ years. Went wonderfully with some seared Tuna and with some pork shoulder.
May 17, 2019 - A good wine, that went well with lamb Cypriot lamb shanks. More of a food wine than a sipping wine.
February 17, 2019 - Delicious PN in the Oregon style. Went very well with dinner and especially the chocolate pudding following. Should be good, even better for a couple more years. 30 minutes to open in the glass.
September 15, 2018 - Popped and poured. This is a translucent cherry-red wine. On the nose, I get baking spice, cherries, and a touch of dried leaf. In the mouth, this is rich and layered with sour cherry notes leaving a crisp and crunchy finish. Overall, this is well-done, classic Oregon Pinot. 91 points.
April 14, 2018 - Somewhat cloudy in the glass this show nice restraint for a '12 from Ribbon Ridge. Tart cherry, a little loam and baking spices on the finish. The thing that stands out is its silky mouthfeel. Really enjoyed this on a snowy evening.
October 29, 2017 - Smooth fresh n texture and persona. No hard edges. The neutral oak gives a papery sense to the tart dark cherries.
