I'm so happy to work for one of the best wineries in the world! Despite the difficult vintage and mixed reviews this might be the best Pinot noir you can buy for the money (SRP $60).

Nice Ribbon Ridge 2010 Pinot Noir with med body, fresh strawberries, raspberries and fresh cut grass that provides a nice freshness to the wine.

Smoked ember nose. Elegant on the palate with mild cherry with pure minerality. Well done.

Tasted 11 and 12 side by side. The 11 has a poignant nose of white pepper, Darjeeling tea, and tart red fruit. 12 is solid too, but that 11 is speaking my language.

2012 Reserve. #wow #wv50 What a great way to celebrate the 50th Birthday of the Willamette Valley than from the first vineyard planted in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. Silky smooth tannins and black fruit. YUM
