Now my fave de faves - Panther Creek. When Ken Wright struck out on his own, he left behind one the best wineries in Oregon - Panther Creek. Why is this my favorite Oregon winery? They have an incredible variety of vineyard designated wines and winemakers, Mike Stevenson and BillHanson. My favorite vineyard used to be Bednarick which is the northernmost vineyard in the portfolio, perhaps in the Willamette Valley. The weather at Bednarick is very erratic with such northern exposure, …

…makes outstanding Bordeaux style blends from Walla Walla grapes. Ken Wright also makes great wines from Walla Walla grapes. He makes a spectacular Chardonnay from Cililo vineyard grapes grown in Washington . Ken is as close as you get to a cult wine celebrity in Oregon. His vineyard designated Pinots are fabulous. We especially like Canary, McCrone and Freedom vineyards. Since the great recession, it is possible to obtain Ken Wright wines directly at the Tyrus Evans…

…and the kind of wine I will miss drinking very much now that this producer has leased the vines to Ken Wright. Plum color, bold strawberry notes with anise, fresh floral notes and wet earth...the acidity and the floral notes are what make this wine so interesting. Cinderella before the ball. It's ... just .... so ... Bryce.

Ken Wright 2006 " Shea Vineyard" 2006 Pinot Noir (about $ 50) and a
Merry Edwards 2006 " Tobias Glen" Pinot Noir ($54).
If you are a fan of big, intense pinot noir or if you are looking for a wine that would go well with particularly hearty fare (and if you have an ample budget for this sort of thing), both of these blockbuster-type pinots are Worth Considering.
Each year, Ken Wright releases several powerful, concentrated single-vineyard pinots made …

…got home from work, I gave her a glass and said, "Try this Oregon pinot." She sniffed and sipped, thought for a moment, and said, "This tastes like a pinot made by Ken Wright." And by golly, she was correct. Production was 821 cases. 13 percent alcohol. Excellent. About $ 50.

…if it grows together, it goes together. Hazelnut-crusted line caught salmon with a Ken Wright Pinot? Sure. But what if the St. Amour works better for a particular palate, and at a much friendlier price? What if the carbon footprint is of consideration to that particular establishment? France is far away, but Ken is not a low-input kind of guy. Sustainability clearly is a consideration for locavore restaurants. On the other hand, in a place like Sonoma County where everything grows, prickly …
