Ridgecrest has always been my favorite Chehalem vineyard, but this 2011 from the Stoller Vineyard contends at almost 13 years. Pure, fresh, black cherry, fine acid-tannin structure, with a long, vibrant, elegant finish. — a year ago

Ridgecrest Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Ribbon Ridge. Bought at Vineyard 10/23, $52. Needs some time to open up to soften. Decanted. Once open, very smooth and the fruit mellowed. — 8 months ago

Ridgecrest Vineyards Pinot Noir

Beautiful 20 year old Oregon Pinot. Opened, re-corked, then enjoyed an hour later over the next 6 hours. Slightly clunky at first but expressed good integration after the first hour. Evolved gradually and subtly. Dried strawberries gave way to raspberry preserves and then sour cherry. Medicinal and sage notes gave way to lavender and rose then cigar/cigar box then smoky bacon and finally black tea. No real awkward phases. Likely drinking at or near peak now. — 8 months ago

@Hugh O'Riordan Light Chehalem style as always but hint of black pepper, some rhubarb, grip of cranberry and cedar. Dunno how these wines age > 5 years but this 2016 is really nice in the lean sense now. Better with a salmon steak/filet than heavier-bodied (nearly every other OR/CA Pinot producer) Pinots that kill that sublime oil content with too much body/extraction.

@Hugh O'Riordan Their style is concentration in a light package so they obvs tread a different Pinot path than most.
