Cameron Winery
Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir
Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Popped yesterday, notes from 24 hrs open in fridge overnight. Ok, five years seems like an excellent length of time for this wine. On the nose: mushroomy Cameron funk, black raspberry, wild strawberry..definitely darker in style, a hint of sandalwood and asian spice, but so enveloping. On the palate: definitely ripe in style with blackberry, fantastic acidity and density..very soft tannin and a touch of mint on the finish. For my palate, this is bar none the best ~$20 btl of US PN there is...

Aug 12th, 2021Holy cow. Opened yesterday, notes from over 24 hrs open. So much better than my last btl: everything has fallen into place. On the nose: soft mushroomy funk, black cherry, wild strawberry, spice, soft leather. On the palate: fantastic acidity, wild strawberry, cinnamon spice, good density, very hi-toned, and soft, very finely-grained tannin on the finish. Yum.
