Tasting Notes
The 2019 Ridgecrest Pinot Noir is supple on the palate with firm structure and plush tannins. It's highly evocative of the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge AVA with layers of dark, brooding fruit: cedar, lavender, black cherry, and dark currants dominate the entry. The aromas are perfumed with high tones of fruit and flowers in addition to cranberry, fresh coffee, chocolate, cigar box, and allspice. These carry through to the wine, leading to a persistent and memorable finish.
