Red Electric

Red Electric Energy. Tension. Beauty. How it all began....

Red Electric Wines was an accident waiting to happen.

In September 2015, Doug and Michele Ackerman realized they had an extra ton and a half of organic, dry-farmed Armstrong Pinot Noir without a home. Our first thought was to ask old friend and über-talented winemaker John Grochau if he was interested in the fruit. John, who first got his teeth purple up the road at Brick House Winery, jumped at the chance to work with Ribbon Ridge fruit. While tasti

ng the barrels, both John and Doug had a common vision regarding the ultimate wine: a wine of tension, energy and richness in a tight frame. The result was 120 cases of wine that triggered an epiphany: we’re on to something special. We quickly decided to produce the 2015 under a new label, and founded Red Electric Wines. We like to say that the name Red Electric was shamelessly hijacked from the Oregon electric trains that ran from Portland through the Willamette Valley in the early 1900s, and stopped at all the towns you now associate with outstanding Oregon Pinot Noir. While the red electric trains were decommissioned in 1929, the name lives on in the form of elegant, energetic wines from Armstrong Vineyard in Ribbon Ridge.
