2006 RIBBON RIDGE WINERY PINOT NOIR ESTATE RESERVE RIDGECREST VINEYARDS RIBBON RIDGE OREGON
2006: I have the highest regard for the Pinot Noirs in barrel, not having seen better fruit EVER from
selected blocks or vineyards, including 22 harvests from Ridgecrest! The reds should be held to
high expectations. The whites are the surprise, since a very warm vintage often blunts the acid,
raises alcohol to unbalance the wine, and softens the fruit to soft and fleshy. Not so in 2006. The
Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc are crisp, bright, and scintillating in fruit aromas
and complex in spice and fruit flavors. The warmth that came during the growing season abated
before most fruit seriously began ripening, with cooler days and, especially important, acid-saving
nights giving finesse to the wines. Appealing early, they should age respectably, too. Color me
pleased.
