  Auction purchase of well stored wines. Cork good. Poured from bottle. Great body. Notes of leather and earth. Second bottle consistently good. Go aged Oregon!

  Was expecting this to be dead, but this was actually a pleasant surprise. Still lots of bright fruit. Well balanced with nice acidity. Improved quite a bit with air.

  Maybe showing a little age - but overall an excellent example of Ken Wright wine.

  Full medium red with some crimson and lightening. Medium full nose of black cherry and menthol with a hint of heat and/or acidity - quite angular. On the palate, nicer with mature red and black fruit with just a hint of sweetness. Still structured, but softening up some. Doubt the fruit will live long enough to see this really round out and soften up. Nice, never be great...

  An inky purple almost amethyst in color. Heavy sediment, with wild game scents of fresh tilled earth, compost, and manure. Flavors of blueberry, black plum, blackberry, and dark chocolate lead the charge in this bold, dark Pinot Noir. This is a wine for beef stew, rack of lamb, wild game...but I was thoroughly enjoying it entirely by itself. The finish leads through a melange of berries(cranberry, blueberry, and cherry) into a spice & nutmeg profile that calls the taster to find the closest gingerbread man...and bite off his head. A well structured wine of magnificent proportions that is enjoyable now and over the next 2-4 years. This was my first Ken Wright wine...and after experiencing this outstanding wine I can finally see why so many people chase after his wines like they have "the cure" in them...
