Aramenta Cellars
A 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
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!
The Vineyard
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.
