Sourced from vineyards in the north Willamette Valley the 2018 Ruby Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a beautiful representation of the warm vintage. Ripe red fruited characters on the nose entice you to take a sip where balanced tannins and acidity reveal a generous palate of berry compote, bramble fruits, and subtle notes of spice.

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 2019 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 Ruby Vineyard Old Vine Estate Pinot Noir  is entirely comprised of 43 year old own rooted pinot noir from our estate vineyard. On the nose there are hints of ripe red fruits over-laid by darker toned blue fruits. The generous pallet shows off the deep concentration of old vines and the 2019 growing season. Soft yet supple tannin’s carry the wine through the mid-pallet leaving the taster with a slightly spicy finish.
