Ribbon Springs is such a special place, immediately recognizable whenever we bring someone there for the first time. The property is sizeable but we have only half of it planted to grape vines; the rest is all rolling hills and forest and animal habitat. It’s quiet. It feels like you’re in a private preserve, tucked away from the world of vehicles and people. Plus it has the best wild blackberries in all of Oregon. True story. And when I go there to sample grapes on the cusp of harvest I’m definitely not eating them all up.

Tasting notes

Leading with vibrant aromas of cinnamon bark, crushed violets, black cherry, and fresh loam this wine leaps across the palate bringing excitement and polish. I look forward to watching it as it ages long into the future.

Winery
Winery Description

Adelsheim Vineyard was founded with an optimistic spirit and a lofty dream: To create World-Class wines in an undiscovered wine region, the Chehalem Mountains of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Luck, fate, and a single-minded determination to make world-class wine in Oregon led David and Ginny Adelsheim to purchase their first 19 acres just outside Newberg, Oregon in 1971. Drawn to the uniqueness of the land and its proximity to Portland, it was here they decided to stake their claim, plant their first rows of Pinot noir along Quarter Mile Lane, and establish what would become the Chehalem Mountains’ first-ever winery in 1978—Adelsheim.
