About Chehalem

Almost thirty years ago Harry Peterson-Nedry began scouting potential vineyard locations in Oregon's burgeoning wine country. He soon discovered what's now called Ribbon Ridge, an ancient, uniform sedimentary hillside at the extreme western end of the Chehalem Mountains.

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2008

($60) Medium red. Dark berries and cherry preserves on the nose, with a strong undertone of baking spices. Sweet, silky and broad, with deep red and dark berry flavors, supple tannins and mounting spiciness. Finishes with very good clarity and lift, with the sweet cherry quality repeating.

The skins are especially delicate, which accounts for the lighter color and body of finished wine. But, despite the delicacy, the best wines have excellent backbone and...
