NOTES
Our Ribbon Ridge estate fruit and our leased vineyard, Oliver Vineyard, within the Yamhill-Carlton AVA experienced a warm growing season early on mixed with some pacific northwest showers in 2019. The result is an elegant and refined expression of Pinot Noir with notable bing cherry, plums and mulberry balanced with the Ribbon Ridge earth element.
