2023 Patricia Green Ribbon Ridge Tasting

July 17, 2025 1 Comment

Well this was a rare treat to be able to taste all of the Patricia Green 2023s with Jim Anderson at a private table in the vineyards. What a unique experience. They were all showing well even this young and for sure will improve with age. We also had a few bonus wines at the tasting room which I am including first in this post.

  • Tasted in the Tasting Room
  • 2021 Patricia Green Cellars Chardonnay Estate – USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (7/8/2025)
    Tasted at the winery and features sour apple, stone, grapefruit, white flowers and spice. Complex offering with medium finish. (92 points)

Tasted in the Vineyards

  • 2023 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Estate Old Vine Ribbon Ridge – USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (7/8/2025)
    This wine was a bit more concentrated than the Estate Vineyard. Dark cherry, strawberries, minerals, earth, rose petals and saline. Vineyards are Winery Block, Hallelujah Block, Sammy’s Block, West Etzel Block and Patty’s Block. A tremendous value at $45.00 retail. (94 points)

    This is about 2 acres and was planted with Pommard clowns in 1998. This is the former Lakeview Block and now pays homage to Patricia Green. Wonderful showing young with cherry, rose petals, dust, earth, minerals and strawberries. Complex and medium plus finish. This will drink well for 15 years easily. 194 cases $85.00 retail. (94 points)

  • 2023 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard Ribbon Ridge – USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (7/8/2025)
    Well this was a fun tasting with Jim Anderson. Notes will be from memory but we tried 9 of the Ribbon Ridge wines on the grounds. Wonderful experience. This was the most approachable wine of the flight and had nice fruit. Some earth and floral notes on the finish. (93 points)
