2000 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Canary Hill - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills (5/27/2008)
WIML91,PURPLE90

Tasted May 27, 2008

No formal notes. Opened and served immediately. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nice nose of potpourri, black berries, black cherries and a bit of dustiness. Flavors of Bing cherries and black berries with a dash of bitters on the medium to long finish. Medium acidity and tannins, medium to full body. Just a bit bigger than I typically like in my Oregon Pinot Noir but a well made wine nonetheless. Drink or over the short, maybe medium term. NOTE: just a tiny bit of sediment on the last pour if you care to decant. PURPLE adds "Benefited from air time. I still think it had a dark color, dark fruit, judicious use of oak. 90 pts" (91 pts.)
