Aramenta Cellars
Aramenta CellarsA new winery located on one of the oldest farms on Ribbon Ridge in the Willamette Valley. The story behind this winery is almost as interesting as are their total bargain priced Bordeaux blend and Pinot noir.
The winery is in the heart of the Ribbon Ridge, nestled between Bergstrom and Brick House, just down the road from Penner Ash and Beaux Freres. The Looney family live on the property, Darlene's family farm, one of the oldest in the area. Ed and Darlene recently planted this vineyard and have released two wines. When Ed came by the store early this year to see what we thought about the wine, Marcus called me as soon as he left and said - "we've got to get this wine". It wasn't labeled, Ed had just brought it by to see what we thought, so we couldn't buy it, but we kept remembering the wine and worrying that we'd miss out. Then Ed showed up at the store one day, and here we are. YOW!
We mostly sell these wines at our store, as local customers grabthem up as soon asthey come in. Tillie is a big, fruity blend of estate grown and Washington Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. It's ready to drink now, a lush and satisfying big red for summer grilling and sipping. It has a great balance of succulent, lavish black fruit, fine tannins, and an exuberant, lively finish.
