Ken Wright is the most exciting winemaker in Oregon. There, I said it. You’ll cut me some slack when you taste these wines. Here we’ve got pinot noir from sedimentary soils and pinot noir from volcanic soils; wines from tiny farms; small, single vineyard designated batches of joy. Small production takes on an different cast when you’re talking about Ken’s Pinot Noir - this is micro-production. And the winery would have no problem selling off the entire vintage via their mailing list. We’re happy that Ken protects a bit of each vintage for his friends in Vermont. Here’s a quick bio:

“The seed for a career in wine was planted squarely in Bourbon country of Lexington, Kentucky. While waiting tables to put himself through school, Ken was exposed to fine wines from regions around the world. The passion became avocation when Ken left the Bluegrass State to attend enology and viticulture classes at UC-Davis. Eight years were spent winemaking for Ventana Vineyards and Talbott Vineyards in Monterey County of California’s central coast. Friends from the Willamette Valley piqued Ken’s interest in the region when they would visit, and a trip to the Dundee Hills in 1982 convinced him that this was where the finest pinot noir in North America was being grown.”
