2008 Ken Wright Cellars Canary Hill Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
13.3% alc., $42. The Canary
Hill Vineyard is owned by Ken and Karen Wright. Planted in 1983 to Pommard clone, the vineyard is located at
the southern end of the Eola Hills in Jory soil.
·
Hi-tone aromas of red and black fruits with backing oak and a
vegetal note. The fruits are moderately concentrated and clothed in noticeably firm and wooly tannins. The
smooth texture is quite pleasing and there is a hint of citric peel on the bright finish. Not as expressive as it will
be, even tasting a little dilute now, but will reward the patient. Decent (+), but may merit a higher rating in a few
years.
