Woah. No, no...not like that. Like Neo in The Matrix...WOAH! Better. OK, pinot-philes, Burghounds, TODAY just became your best day EVER! Seriously, six, count ‘em, SIX epic vintages, for one spectacular vertical that just might be the MOST UNREAL deal on pinot noir we’ve ever seen. Like ever...

For $29 a bottle? OVER $350 OFF the winery price? Utter lunacy. Make a list of Oregon’s top pinot pros – you know, like Beaux Frères, Ken Wright, Soter, Adelsheim, Bergström…what do they have in common? THIS! The Ribbon Ridge estate – the infamous Ridgecrest Vineyard – planted in 1980 as Willamette Valley’s most westerly vineyard by Harry Peterson himself! They called him a madman, a fool, and other names not fit for print...you DO NOT plant vineyards this far west, this far north – it CANNOT be done. He did. It was. And the world of high-end, top-scoring, Oregon PINOT NOIR will never be the same. 

Everybody wants this fruit. They even made a Sub-AVA of Ribbon Ridge as a result of Harry’s success – but we’ve got the OG for you TODAY! Did you see those SCORES?! A 92, three 93s, two 94s… all straight from the Peterson family’s winery, and ready to leave you crying tears of vinous joy! Harry’s daughter, Wynne, crafts these beauties nowadays – after stints in NZ, Burgundy, and a Masters in Oenology from UC Davis. There is skill and generational magic pumping here, lined up all in a row, six glasses on my desk…and…DANG! We’re crushing hard on these at the office – pretty much zero work will be achieved for the rest of the day. This winery keeps very little fruit for themselves and these wines WILL go out hyper-fast. Their RR Reserve consists of the best grapes, top lots, and most incredible parcels…these just flat-out ROCK! If great, balanced, classy, AGEWORTHY pinot is your thing...today is your day! Not enough time to break down each – peep the highlights below and go, Go, GO!!!
