Limpid ruby-red. Spice-laced red and blue fruit and floral aromas pick up a smoky nuance with air. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering vibrant raspberry and blueberry along with subtle rhubarb and floral pastille notes. The clinging, gently sweet finish shows very good clarity and smooth tannins. 25% new oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)

Aug 5th, 2020Vivid red. Deep-pitched aromas of fresh blackberry and cherry show hints of violet, cola and orange zest in the background. Supple and broad in the mouth; juicy dark fruit and floral pastille flavors are given lift and spine by a jolt of tangy acidity. Powerful yet lithe, finishing with solid thrust, sneaky tannins and very good length. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2016)

From my favorite AVA in Willamette, Ribbon Ridge, the '07 Patricia Green Pinot Noir 'Estate' is a clear medium red. Sweet-tart cherry, spice box, tar and incense aromas erupt from the glass. Medium-bodied with assertive dark berry flavors that flood the rich mid-palate. Finely textured with a long sappy finish.

From 375. Surprisingly primary. Tart black cherry. Reminds me of a too young Beaune red. Wish I had more, and in 750. This has longevity.

Tart red fruit, savory herbs, wild flowers & dry earth. Delicious despite or because of difficult vintage?

This bottle shows why I love Pinot, Willamette, and Ribbon Ridge in particular. The nose is phenomenal and perfumes the room with cherry, spice, and a touch of earthy funk. The clear ruby wine tastes of bright cherry and red raspberry with hints of spice. But it is the electric acidity that sets this and all the great New World Pinots apart from the pack. World class zip in this wine!
