Occasional Wine Note: Ken Wright wines persistently deliver and are perenially on Wine Spectator's Top 100 lists. We think they really represent the Willamette Valley well. This one is no different. Love the red fruits, and the balanced acidity, along with those soft tannins. Delicious and affordable.
Wine Spectator
Critic Score: 91
Bright and juicy, offering tart raspberry and cranberry flavors laced with mineral and forest floor accents, which build tension toward fine-grained tannins.

This note is a snapshot in time. Tasted several months from now, who knows what the score might be? For now, on the cusp of release, it shows aromas of blueberries and a meaty note similar to bacon fat. Red-apple and sour-cherry flavors are flanked by a cedar note, moderate acidity and silky tannins.
