AVA

Ribbon Ridge

Location: Oregon, United States

Legal name: Ribbon Ridge

Region: Willamette Valley

Nested under: Willamette Valley

Ribbon Ridge is a small, highly focused Willamette Valley AVA recognized for Pinot Noir from marine sedimentary soils. The wines often show cherry, raspberry, black tea, floral tones, spice, and fine-grained structure rather than overt weight. Because the AVA is compact, it is especially useful for explaining how small Oregon sub-AVAs can develop clear label identities within the broader Willamette Valley.
