Ridgecrest Herb and Vine, founded by Oregon wine pioneer Harry Peterson-Nedry in 1980, holds a monumental place in Willamette Valley history as the very first vineyard planted in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The "40th Harvest Anniversary" bottling celebrates four decades of estate farming on deep Willakenzie (marine sedimentary) soils.

Farmed sustainably, this old-vine Pinot Gris was fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks to highlight the intensity of 1980s plantings. The 2024 anniversary release offers remarkable weight and concentration without heavy oak: ripe Asian pear, white peach, melon, honeycomb, and crushed oyster shell, backed by vibrant, mouthwatering sedimentary minerality.
