Ken Wright Cellars remains a benchmark for Oregon Pinot Noir. Wright’s portfolio of 2006s is outstanding across the board. As has become customary, Ken Wright has pulled off a tour de force in farming and winemaking.

Ken Wright Freedom Hill 2006

Sourced from the Coast Range south of Salem, a site more dominated by earth notes and minerality, this masculine effort has plenty of material. (2 Bottles)

Ken Wright Abbott Claim Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

This wine has a chocolaty flavor with full, spicy cherry fruit at its core. Wine Enthusiast 92. 

Ken Wright Canary Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

The top wine from Ken Wright in 2008, this beautifully elegant wine delivers a mouthful of delicious flavors. A lovely mix of cranberry, pomegranate and wild raspberry is annotated with dusty herb. It has excellent mid palate concentration and length.

Ken Wright Carter Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Whiffs of herb and leaf fade into light, lingering pale red fruits – watermelon and strawberry. 

Ken Wright Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Cranberry fruit flavors are augmented with some pretty whiffs of incense.

Ken Wright Guadalupe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

This offers a fragrant perfume and a plush palate. There is bracing acidity to provide uplift, excellent balance, and ample ripe, sweet fruit.

 

Ken Wright McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Showing real depth and layering, this wine offers pomegranate and raspberry fruit, dusted with baking spices and finished with a tasty vein of mocha. Wine Enthusiast 92

Ken Wright Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Plenty of tart, tangy cherry fruit!  Wine Enthusiast 91.

Ken Wright Savoya Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Excellent concentration and grip and its raspberry/cherry fruit gives it a tart, racy flair. Overall very wellcrafted and balanced. Wine Enthusiast 90

Ken Wright Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Tart and speckled with pepper, this shows lean but polished fruit. It’s truly Burgundian in style, with well-defined highlights of leaf and bark. A chocolaty afterglow sets in long after the last swallow. Wine Enthusiast 90

Ken Wright Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Subdued, but lovely aromas of red plums, wild berries and grilled meat. A bolt of dark red and black fruits attacks the palate with a vengeance, clothed in ripe tooth-sticking tannin and sporting a lively grip of acidity. (1 bottle)
