What to Expect

Oregon has only recently emerged as a source for premium wine and is winning fans over to their somewhat earthy style of Pinot Noir. With vineyards a bit cooler than most of California's, yet warmer still than Burgundy, Oregon's Pinot Noirs feature a synthesis of ripe fruit, ripe structure and transparency that draws on the strengths of both. The wines tend to have a touch of earthiness and a sense of transparency that many Pinots from California lack yet the fruit profile, full of dark berries, is decidedly warm-climate in nature.

Winemakers Notes

"Vivid redcolor. Spicy red berry and cherry scents, with nervy blood orange andpomegranate qualities adding energy. Vivacious and sharply focused,with bright mineral lift to the redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors.Gains depth and sweetness on the long, juicy finish. Wright bought thisvineyard in December of 2006."91 pointsBy Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 08

Typically, the Pinot noir from this vineyard is quite forward, with aromas of black cherry and cola. Ken has worked with this vineyard for over ten years.
