2019 Ridgecrest Pinot Noir
2019 Ridgecrest Pinot Noir
As the first vineyard planted on Ribbon Ridge in 1982, Ridgecrest is the true grandfather of all the vineyards in our AVA and a gem to feature in our lineup for a second year. Owned by local wine hero, Harry Peterson-Nedry, this esteemed vineyard consists of Wellsdale loam soils and is characteristically tannic, intense and structured. Made from 9 barrels of old-vine Wadensville & old-vine Pommard clones it is bound to be another favorite.
Look for tobacco leaf on the nose with powerful notes of blackberry, plum and a dry mid-palate. The rich, round mouthfeel has the perfect acidity to carry its weight and depth. This is a bottle that is impressive now to open but will be even more rewarding if you cellar it for some time.
