Ken Wright Cellars Description
Tasting Notes: The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir offers ripe rainier cherry, red plum and blackberry nestled between notes of rose petal, cedar and turned earth. The wine is vibrant and lively on the palate with a generous finish.
Shaped by millions of years of plate subduction and volcanic activity, Oregon’s Willamette Valley is one of the premier Pinot noir producing areas in the world. The Willamette Valley AVA was established in 1983, with the initial vineyard plantings beginning in 1966. This 100-mile long, 60-mile wide valley stretches between the Columbia River in the north, to just south of Eugene with the Oregon Coast Range in the west and the Cascade Mountains in the East. Due to the protection of the mountains on eastern and western boundaries, the Willamette Valley is a cooler climate region that provides for a long, gentle growing season, perfect for deliciously complex Pinot noir.
