Ken Wright Pinot Noir 'Tanager Vineyard' 2017
Floral and spice-focused. Red and blue fruits of raspberry, blueberry and cranberry dance with firmer tannin structure.
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, Pinot noir is the ultimate vehicle for conveying the aroma, flavor and texture of the location in which it is grown. Ken Wright Cellars produces a single vineyard Pinot Noir from 13 different vineyard sites in the Northern Willamette Valley.
93 Points - Wine Spectator Alluring aromas of violet and raspberry reveal multilayered flavors of cherry and dusky spice, with a hint of orange peel that builds tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2027.
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast The sharply defined red fruits are set against suggestions of apricot. The flavors soften up slowly as they wind through the palate, with excellent structure and texture.
