Ribbon Ridge Map
The Special Ter wahr, of Ribbon Ridge"
Ribbon Ridge A-V-A - 2005

Welcome to Ribbon Ridge, where rich history was born, as Ribbon Ridge was named, in 1865.

Ribbon Ridge has been called an "island-like ridge", standing alone in the heart of the Willamette Valley. It is another one of Oregon’s new, “small but mighty”, sub-appellations, or A-V-A.

This appellation (along with neighboring Chehalem Mountains A-V-A), boasts a, who’s who, of Willamette Valley producers, including the likes of: Beaux Freres, Brick House, Bergstrom, Patricia Green, Adelsheim & others.

​See the map.

Ribbon Ridge is actually, in the Chehalem Mountains. But because it’s on the southern lip of the mountains, that has a slightly different soil, and weather type, it earned its own A-V-A.

Ribbon Ridge is where you’ll find the intense cranberry flavors, and rustic earthy notes, that is recognized as Oregon Pino Noir.

More...

Ribbon Ridge is a very regular spur of ocean and glacial sediment uplift off the northwest end of the Chehalem Mountains, containing a relatively uniform 3350 acres of land. 

​About 500 acres are currently planted on the ridge, within 20 vineyards. 

The A-V-A is distinguished by uniform, unique ocean and glacial sedimentary soils, down to the glacial, alluvial level of about 250 ft.

These fine, marine nutrient-depleted sedimentary soils, stress the vines, making for great wine. 

The geography is protected climatically by the larger landmasses surrounding it, making it slightly warmer.
