More About This Wine
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. There, he planted the Ridgecrest Vineyard, Chehalem's oldest, in 1982.

Bright ruby-red. Highly aromatic bouquet of raspberry, Asian spices and potpourri, with a suave mineral quality adding vivacity. Lively and precise, offering sappy red fruit flavors and exotic floral and spicecake qualities. Finishes with very good clarity and spicy thrust, with the red fruit and floral notes echoing. This is delicious now but should age well on its balance.
