Exceptional Pinot Noir – 2006 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Canary Hill

Oregon wineries are generally small and decentralized within each official wine region of the state. Pinot noir can be rather finicky, achieving success in only a handful of places in the world. Oregon has superb growing conditions. The northwest portion of Oregon is celebrated for its cool-climate grape varieties, including Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, and especially Pinot noir, which brings us to tell you about a terrific wine – the 2006 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Canary Hill. Located in rural Carlton, Oregon, Ken Wright Cellars is devoted to showcasing the inherent quality of the region’s Pinot Noir. Rather than stamping wine with a varietal trademark, the 2006 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Canary Hill best expresses the character, aroma, flavor and texture of the location in which it is grown. What you can expect is vivid red spicy berry and cherry scents, with nervy blood orange and pomegranate qualities adding energy. This wine is vivacious and sharply focused, with bright mineral lift to the red currant and bitter cherry flavors that gains depth and sweetness on the long, juicy finish. If you are a fan of Pinot Noir, 2006 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Canary Hill is something you will very much enjoy.
