Violets and broom combine here with cherries

Vibrant acidity and refined tannins seep into the fabric of this round red

it’s fantastic and possibly the wine of the year

making for a lightly extracted red wine that is more focused on the fruit instead of the tannin and structure

soils are mainly comprised of limestone and chalk

2016 | Ken Wright Cellars Pinot Blanc | Willamette Valley Fils Montmains Violets and broom combine hereKen Wright has been making exceptional Pinot Blanc for at least 15 vintages, and this may be the finest to date. Remarkably, the price has remained steady over that time, while case production has grown. This is a showcase for the often overlooked variety, with Asian pear and crisp apple fruit, highlighted with fresh herbs, white pepper and lemon verbena. It was sourced from Freedom Hill vineyard. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
