A two-barrel selection consisting of the favorite sweeter barrel from each of the two estate vineyards. Intense, bright and focused, with candied lemon/lime fruit flavors. The power and concentration of the wine is remarkable.

Chehalem 2006 Statement Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $99
This one-of-a-kind offering from Chehalem celebrates what they are calling a “great” vintage. The wine is dark, supple and immensely rich and dense, yet retains a lightness that captures the elegance of the Pinot Noir grape while propelling it to rarified heights. The mix of red and purple fruits, herb, spice and earth all come together in a smooth and seductive…

Adelsheim 2009 Ribbon Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $68
The Ribbon Ridge AVA is tucked inside the larger Chehalem Mountains AVA, and lately has been the epicenter for many of the most powerful and focused Pinots in the entire Willamette Valley. Ripe and balanced, with spiced cherry and sour plum fruit, this tart, long, silky, full-bodied and supremely complex young wine should age for decades.

Chehalem 2006 Ridgecrest Vineyards Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- $44
Scents of cracker, spice and root beer and flavors of malted milk chocolate and other softly appealing notes lead into surprisingly sharp, well-defined sour cherry and plum fruit, augmented with spice and black pepper. Distinctive among the winery’s single-vineyard lineup, it shows that old vines, cropped down below two tons/acre as they are here, bring extra…

Archery Summit 2008 Looney Vineyard Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- Editors' Choice
- $85
The Looney Vineyard bottling is the outlier in the Archery Summit lineup—a different AVA and a non-estate vineyard. The Ribbon Ridge AVA is a subset of a subset within the Willamette Valley, and it may be the hidden gem for producing great Pinot Noir. This wine is sensual, spirited, spicy and smooth. The cherry and raspberry fruit is highlighted with bright acidity…

Utopia 2008 Estate Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- $38
Smoky and supple, aromatic and fine, this elegant and appealing Pinot Noir from a new Ribbon Ridge producer simply seduces. Plum, berry and cherry fruit glides smoothly into soft, polished tannins, with just the right dollop of milk chocolate in the finish.

Ribbon Ridge 2004 Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- $32
Ribbon Ridge is the name of the winery, the vineyard and the AVA—one of a half dozen new sub-appellations recently defined in the Willamette Valley. The vineyard was recently planted (1991) but is already delivering thrilling fruit, scented with cherry liqueur, cola syrup, vanilla bean and cocoa. I love the intensity and focus, which conserves the fruit character…
