Tasting note: The 2006 Pinot Noir McCrone Vineyard is a Ken Wright “monopole” from
which he takes all the fruit. The very expressive bouquet gives up
mineral, earth, cherry, and raspberry. Layered and plump on the palate,
there are gobs of savory complex fruit flavors, great depth and
concentration and a very long finish.
Ken Wright Cellars remains a benchmark for Oregon Pinot Noir. Wright’s
portfolio of 2006s is outstanding across the board. As has become
customary, Ken Wright has pulled off a tour de force in farming and
winemaking. (93 pts. JM, Wine Advocate)
Tasted: Oct 2008
Score: 93
Tasting note: Light, bright red. Precise red berry and
mineral aromas take on a bright blood orange quality with air. Fresh red
fruit flavors stain the palate, displaying a seductively weightless
personality and gaining lift and clarity on the back end. The most
graceful wine of this set, finishing clean and extremely long. (92 pts. Stephen Tanzer)
Tasted: May/June 2008
