Ermisch Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, Oregon

After making wine continuously in Argentina since 1997, Christopher “Kirk” Ermisch decided to try his hand at Oregon’s iconic Pinot Noir after basing his US wine importing business in Bend in 2001. Originally called Erendira’s Rise, the wine sought to showcase the overcoming of a challenge. In this case it was about a new grape in a new region for the winemaker. Fast forward to 2021, it is now about making wine that is professionally well-made, a delight to consumers and a reflection of the terroir of the vineyard and clone of Pinot made. While this current focus is certainly not a new story, Ermisch Family Cellars is about quality for value.
