Ken Wright Vanjohn Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2022
About the wine
Single-vineyard stunner from a Willamette Valley legend
-
This is elegant and silky Oregon Pinot Noir at its finest, with a bounty of red and blue fruit flavors that leap from the glass.
-
Ken harvested this Pinot from Vanjohn Vineyard, an eastern-facing hillside vineyard that gets a smidge of morning light – just enough for the grapes to ripen slowly to perfection. It’s some of the top Pinot in the Eola-Amity Hills – and Ken couldn’t make it without your support.
-
“Truly great wine happens with world-class sites and the hand of the winemaker unseen,” says Ken. This is your chance to taste greatness from the winemaker that put Oregon Pinot on the map.
Best before
If you prefer a fresh fruit profile, this should be enjoyed between release up to 5 years. If you prefer the complexities and nuance that develop with age, then 6-12 years is recommended.
Serving advice
Young wines benefit from aeration. Opening 15-30 minutes before service will improve both aromatics and flavor.
Food match
This wine pairs beautifully with salmon, especially Chinook.
Contains sulphites
