Fullerton Winery Lichtenwalter Vineyard Pinot Noir '18

Fullerton Wines Pinot Noir Lichtenwalter Vineyard Ribbon Ridge is a complex and structured wine from the Willamette Valley’s smallest AVA, Ribbon Ridge. With aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, and black cherry, it is complemented by spices, sandalwood, smoke, and oolong tea.

The wine was crafted with 40% whole-cluster fermentation, 20% extended maceration, and aged for 12 months in French oak. It is a seamless blend of fruit and structure, highlighted by vibrant acidity and tannins. The wine has earned 93 points from Wine & Spirits and Owen Bargreen, and 92+ from John Gilman. It's a beautiful expression of the Ribbon Ridge terroir, offering both elegance and depth.
