Ricochet
Ricochet operates in Oregon's Willamette Valley, a region celebrated for cool-climate viticulture and expressive white wines. The winery's portfolio spans unexpected varietals: a Grüner Veltliner that channels the crisp minerality of its Austrian origins, a Tempranillo that brings Spanish structure to Pacific Northwest terroir, and Le Ressort Petillant Naturel—a sparkling blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc that captures the region's signature elegance in effervescent form. These wines have been evaluated by Decanter and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting a commitment to quality across a deliberately diverse range. The winery's approach suggests a willingness to explore beyond Willamette Valley's Pinot-centric conventions, offering drinkers an alternative lens on what the region can produce.
