2016 Goodfellow Family Cellars Chardonnay Ribbon Ridge Cuvée
4/21/2024 - OregonLoafer Likes this wine:
Cellartracker tells me this is my last bottle. What a shame. I enjoyed this most on day 3 (none remained beyond that).
I haven’t been drinking a ton of wine in the last year or so, and not a lot has moved me during that time. But once again it’s a Goodfellow bottle that smacks me in the face and reminds me why I have a somewhat silly number of bottles from Oregon in my cellar/closet, and why this label makes up a disproportionate amount of it.

2013 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Whistling Ridge Vineyard
11/12/2023 - OregonLoafer Likes this wine:
Drank this a week ago, so no real notes. But this was Stupendous and generous from the first moment, and just as good and more fleshed out on day two.
Frankly this was in better shape than the couple other bottles I’ve had over the past year. And this was purchased recently from the winery. I guess storage conditions matter…. Or bottle variation is a thing.
Either way, wonderful and vibrant wine.

2021 Violin Pinot Noir
11/5/2023 - OregonLoafer Likes this wine:
Very impressed with this offering, particularly at the $28 price. At a listed 13.0% ABV, this is light on its feet and, showing the vintage, nonetheless shows a surprisingly high intensity of flavor. Herbal, loamy red fruit is backed by a slightly drying acid and maybe some tannins. I’d guess there’s some stems in this.
This is apparently almost entirely Eola-Amity Hills fruit, and it has some of the characteristics of other producers in the area that I like, such as Evesham Wood and Walter Scott. It also reminds me of Goodfellow in its structure and light touch. Really enjoyed it.
