The 2022 Cameron Winery “Dundee Hills” Pinot Noir is a fun-loving, juicy example of Pinot Noir from Oregon’s renown Dundee Hills appellation just within Yamhill County. While openly expressive, youthful and playful; there’s a surprisingly serious amount of depth and character to be found within it. While its brother from Cameron (“Ribbon Ridge”) is much more of an earthy, classically “Burgundian” representation of the variety- the Dundee Hills - the latter is a remarkly playful and light-footed example of how much fun the wines from this grape can produce.

Jan 12th, 2026The 2023 Cameron Winery “Ribbon Ridge” Pinot Noir is a completely different animal from its sibling from the ‘Dundee Hills”. The latter is fat, juicy, and stuffed with fruit. The Ribbon Ridge, to me, comes off as the much more mature older brother. Not austere: but it takes a bit of conversation to really get to know him. Far more depth and structure- and while maybe not as playful as the Dundee Hills- the Ribbon Ridge, to me, is undoubtedly the first born.

Special barrel selection for Market of Choice stores - Cuvée Etienne
Aromas of orange pekoe tea, amaro, light funky earth, and pipe tobacco
On the palate, there's a touch of graham, "natural" but clean, dark dusty cherry, light menthol. Finishes a bit short, but it's still a baby. Let's revisit in 5(?) years.

Still kinda closed, but we are poppin and pouring and this bottle has seen a lotta transit. Palate is nonetheless seductively full fruit, darker and more ripe than expected.

Not bad. Some fruit but lots of campfire and Asian spices. Perceptible brett on the palate. It’s fun and nice but doesn’t do anything for me.

Apparently he sprayed beer all over the ceiling of his winery to create the native yeast. Very funky nose belies well balanced finish.
