Bold style I remember from first released has transformed to a more elegant wine with bright cherry fruit, spice and floral aromas. No sense holding it any longer.

Interplay of citrus and spice back by dark cherries, was looking for more tertiary components but the cool cut orange peel, baking spices, and ripe cranberry are pleasant.

I have a hard time with Ken Wright wines bc they are not to my palate and I don't understand the price points. I have to assume the price is based more on the fact that the winery is more of a brand and better known than a lot of other Oregon wineries. This is pleasant enough, but tends to be both very ripe and slightly underripe at the same time. A little bitter, and really not that interesting at all. Very generic. This all said, it's not an unpleasant wine, but it compares to a lot of $20 Oregon Pinots on the market, and I would be a hard pass at $30 based on what else is available.

Surprised there were not more tasting notes on this wine. Generally agree with the other reviewer. This is a well structured Oregon Pinot Noir with good acidity and fruit, but it lacks something to bring it to the next level. Served with grilled pork chop.

Nice Pinot with typical/expected pinot nose. Very smooth and silky. Some complexity. Overall a "delicious" pinot that appears to be made to a price ($55-) fine grain/silky tannins and generally a sweet overall palate. Very drinkable, but a little forgettable. 89/100

Light, elegant, balanced with a pretty-pretty little fruit; very enjoyable, if not unforgetable.

Not a big Pinot with some good acidity. Nice red fruit that could go a few more years. I will wait a year for the next one.

Very solid wine. Smooth. Not intense finish but very pleasant.

Sadly, not all that. Good balance, medium- finish, medium- intensity, medium- complexity.

Overall a nice wine. Nice fruit and well integrated, but lacking in acidity and tannin.

Excellent bright red fruit with good acidity. Still has some life left so I may wait on the next bottle.
