Velvety, rich, jewelly. Full on. Positively strokes the palate. A good example of a definitively Oregon style that works. (JR)

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. Tel.
