Our finest and smallest production wine is made exclusively from the oldest block on the Ruby Estate Vineyard planted in 1973. This 100% Wadenswil clone Pinot Noir is beautifully elegant and complex.

The Ruby Vineyard Estate Blend is entirely composed of 40 year old own-rooted pinot noir grapes from our estate vineyard. On the nose are hints of ripe red fruits over-laid by darker toned blue fruits. The generous palate shows off the deep concentration of old vines and organic farming practices. Soft yet supple tannins carry the wine through the mid-palate ending with a pronounced white pepper finish.

Grown on unique laurelwood soil– deposited at the end of the last ice age on the east facing slopes of the Chehalem Mountains in the north Willamette Valley– this 2018 Pinot Noir consists of grapes farmed on our estate at 400 feet elevation and neighboring vineyards on our hillside up to about 750 feet. A cherry nose is darkened by aromas of baking spice, peppercorns, and dust. Soft tannins and balanced acidity highlight the mouth filling dark red fruit of cherries and berries.

The combination of fruit that was picked three weeks apart from Ruby's over 40 year old vines created a dynamic, multilayered and elegant wine.

This Pinot Noir honors the legacy of Ruby co-owner Steve Hendricks' great-great-grandfather, Abijah Hendricks, a pioneer on the first wagon train on the Oregon Trail in 1843. The wine was made from grapes from Timbale & Thyme Vineyard, situated within the 640 acre parcel homesteaded by Abijah and Mary Jane Hendricks. Its label bears the land deed originally granted to the Hendricks Family.
