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.

Ruby-red. Fresh red fruits and flowers on the highly perfumed nose and in the mouth. Juicy and focused, displaying very good energy and slow-mounting spiciness. Finishes with impressive clarity and cut for a wine from a ripe vintage, leaving tangy berry skin notes behind.
