Medium Ruby with aromas of berries, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and black raspberry with notes of currants, pepper and cinnamon spice and earthy oak notes. Aged for 10 months on French oak, fine grainy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla oak character. Very nice.

Barnyard on the nose, not a big Oregon wine fan or a Pinot Noir fan and this one didn’t impress that much. But that’s okay I have backup!

Medium ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of red cherry, red plum, subtle raspberry, subtle ripe blackberry; dry, medium acid, medium minus tannins, medium alcohol, medium intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium finish, fruit a bit riper and juicier than I’m accustomed to, only moderately complex with mostly primary fruit notes

Classic. You can genuinely never go wrong with Ken Wright. Plenty of nuance.

Cherries, blood orange and baking spice- very fruit forward. This particular bottle had fairly elevated volatile acidity and simple flavors.

Bright cherry fruit. Translucent, light red. Important backbone of earth, herbs, very slight tannin. Bouncy acidity and vinegar.

2014 vintage. Very nice entry level from ken Wright. Not as deep as the single vineyards but also not as much $$$
