RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

A suave, expansive bouquet evokes mineral-accented pear, Meyer lemon, candied ginger and toasted brioche, along with an earthy iodine quality. Taut, focused and impressively concentrated, showing impressive clarity and lift to the sappy orchard and citrus fruit, sweet butter and chamomile flavors. Plays power off delicacy in a Puligny way and finishes impressively long, displaying real tension and a sexy floral quality.

92The Wine Advocate

...scented of tangy lemon and red apple skin with nuances of struck match, toasted almonds, dried hay and warm earth. Medium-bodied, it offers lots of energy in the mouth with flavors of warm red apple, hazelnut, toast and acacia blossom. It has a slightly creamy texture and great tangy acidity, finishing long and packed with flavor.

16Jancis Robinson

Lime, cereal, crisp acidity, a touch of butter on the finish. Zingy acidity, very effortless and refreshing, and the restraint of fruit is very drinkable, but it seems a little simple.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge

Willamette Valley AVA was established in 1983, and it is the oldest appellation in Oregon. Oregon’s modern wine industry began in the Willamette Valley in the 1960s when artists, vagabond winemakers, and U.C. Davis oenology graduates looking for new territory started their own, small, off-the-grid wineries. The appellation is the state’s largest, and it extends 175 miles from Columbia River on the Washington/Oregon border to just south of Eugene, near central Oregon. The Willamette River runs through the area, helping to give the appellation a mild year-round climate. There are six smaller sub-appellations within this AVA, but altogether the Willamette Valley has the largest concentration of wineries in Oregon, as well as the majority of the state’s most famous producers. Pinot Noir is king here, followed by Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. To most admirers of Oregon Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley offers the most distinctive wine choices in the state.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
