Ribbon Ridge

2020 Estate Pinot Noir

The 2020 Utopia Estate Pinot Noir reflects the exceptional quality of Ribbon Ridge with expressive aromas of Bing cherry, black raspberry, rose petal, and baking spice. Rich layers of dark fruit, vibrant acidity, and silky tannins unfold across a beautifully balanced palate, while subtle French oak influence adds depth and complexity. Elegant, refined, and distinctly representative of the Willamette Valley, this estate-grown Pinot Noir is crafted to be enjoyed today and treasured for years to come.

The 2020 vintage will long be remembered for the smoke and fires in early September, but our grapes were not impacted by the fires and the low yields resulting from a poor fruit set produced dense and rich wines with good acidity. Our 2020 Estate Pinot Noir is dark in color and shows concentrated aromas and flavors of dark cherry and berry with hints of clove and cinnamon with excellent tannic structure for long cellaring.
