Drank as part of a vertical, 2004-2007, of Nysa Vineyard Pinots, plus this '09 Ken Wright Nysa Vnyd. Follow-ups were other '07 & '09 Pinots from Dundee Hills. Even after some really nice wines, this one blew everyone's socks off. Love '09 OR Pinots; love Ken Wright; so this was another great one.

Nice light pinot. Beautiful rich purple. Not much nose. Lots of cherry on the palate. Medium acid, but this fades quickly leaving a nice smooth finish. (5+10+16+7)

Intense fruit on the nose gets your attention, flavors open across the palette steadily, with some dryness from tannins towards the end. Long finish, great structure, really showcases what a Pinot can be.

Think this was past its’ prime. Too tart / acidic without being balanced by the fruit. Was a bit one note.

At a party we did six different vineyards of the 09 vintage. All in excellent shape and drinking well.
A little more mineral and herbs in this bottle

not my favorite from KW 2009 offerings. Something is missing there.
