There was an indefinable magic to the place, in the low-slung, rolling hills that rise and fall like the breath of a slumbering child. It was undeniably alive, and bursting with potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe followed our gut, planting the first vineyard on what would one day become one of the premier wine appellations in Oregon. Ridgecrest Vineyards did not disappoint. Early barrel samples were otherworldly. We studied it, continued to plant, and dug deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter 34 harvests at Chehalem and 17 years of squirreling away our age-worthy RR wines, we know these vineyards – the ins and outs, strengths, and peculiarities of each and every block. We’ve done our homework...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow, it’s recess time. We’re ready to come out and play.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur new RIDGECREST label will allow us to do just that – to play with all of those blocks, lots, and barrels that beg our attention every harvest - the ones we are loathe to blend with the others, because they are just so damned intriguing! Pinot Noir will be the mainstay, with supporting roles played by Grüner Veltliner and Gamay Noir.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCheers!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWynne and Harry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBouquet : In the glass, I smelled tart green apples, gooseberries combined with unusual citrusy notes of kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and freshly grated lemon zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePalate : Those tart aromas evolved into crisp green apples and mouth puckering crab apples, then into less tart flavors of Meyer lemons and watermelon rind. A lemon curd-like texture rolled across my tongue, taking its time getting to a finale that reminded me of key lime pie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" bgcolor=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" height=\"3\" width=\"1\" bgcolor=\"#\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winefetch.com\/images\/spacer.gif\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/www.winefetch.com\/images\/spacer.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"RR Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42976013746400,"sku":"110976","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/rr-wines-ridgecrest-pinot-gris_1.jpg?v=1663888652","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/rr-wines-ridgecrest-pinot-gris-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
