Ken Wright Cellars
Located in rural Carlton, Oregon, Ken Wright Cellars is devoted to showcasing the inherent quality of selected vineyard sites. With a clarity and breadth that is unequaled by other varieties, we believe Pinot noir best expresses the character of these sites. Rather than stamping wine with a varietal trademark, we see Pinot noir as a vehicle for conveying the aroma, flavor and texture of the location in which it is grown.
We also have a place in our hearts for the limited production of two white wines, Chardonnay from Celilo Vineyard near White Salmon, Washington, and Pinot Blanc from Freedom Hill Vineyard.

Drank Oct 2007. Five years after vintage, this wine was at peak maturity. Fruit forward, displaying all the characteristics of both the varietal and the terrior.

Snoothrank:
I know it was not a bad wine, but this wine did not exactly suit my tastes. It was a bit too bitter, not vinegary or anything, just bitter. It tasted somewhat like blackberries. Read More

We found it to be very elegant without much tannins. As it opened up it seemed to get a bit more complex. We paired it with a panko crusted flounder and some salmon sashimi - it was very food friendly. Read More
