Whistling Ridge Vineyards is located on two sites near Newberg, Oregon, in Yamhill County. Our dream of starting a vineyard became reality in 1988 with the purchase of 20 acres, much of which was prime vineyard land in the Ribbon Ridge American Viticulture Area (AVA). We cleared approximately 10 acres of mostly walnut and fir trees to make way for planting grape vines.
In 1999 we purchased an additional 30 acres one mile north, also in Ribbon Ridge. We eventually plan to plant around 10 more acres of vines on our north site. Our vines thrive on Willakenzie silty clay loam, running north to south, in an altitude of 450 feet. We use the Double Guyot training system with spacing of 5 by 7 feet.

The Whistling Ridge 2011 Pinot Noir is a constant discovery. It has been exciting to experience the evolution of this vintage which promises more great things to come as it cellars. The fresh and cheerful aromatics bring to mind red cherries and spice. There is a tanginess to the palette that consists of berry and cherry flavors complimented by a full and warm finish of spice.
