Country: US / Ridgecrest Vineyards Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Chehalem / Ribbon Ridge
Flavors roll from cranberry to sweet red cherry in a red-fruit riot. It was aged in 52% new and 24% one-year-old oak, but it’s unobtrusive and not especially toasty. The barrel time has begun to smooth out any bumps and rough edges, though a touch of phenolic bite remains. Drink from 2018 to 2022.
