April 5, 2024 - After 15 years still very good red fruits, cherry, huckleberry, and strawberry. Fruit forward, no bricking, altogether a lovely pinot noir.

December 5, 2021 - Last of the 1/2 case we purchased of several Ken Wright Pinots in 2010. Wine has developed nicely and glad I held on to one last bottle from this
vintage. Great mouthfeel and pleasant finish. -

March 7, 2020 - Synthetic cork intact. It still allowed the wine to age normally. Savory soy, leather, maintains some black cherry fruit , black tea and modest acidity. Enjoyable now but I preferred it in its younger days. Personally autographed bottle so I had been holding onto it.

September 15, 2010 (link)(Ken Wright CellarsPinot Noir Canary Hill Vineyard) Light ruby in color, with aromas of dark cherry, boysenberry, wet earth, anise, and vanilla. Juicy dark fruit dominates the palate, supported by firm tannins. This is a complex, well-balanced wine with a penetrating finish. Winery Spotlight: Ken Wright Cellars
