Ken Wright Cellars

CARLTON, OREGON | EST 1994

After 48 years of wine making experience Ken Wright Cellars believes in a simple truth: source is everything.

Our approach to the craft of wine growing is one of stewardship rather than manipulation. We use organic certified practices as a base and expand upon that with advanced nutrition-based farming. By analyzing both the soil profile and vines, maintaining proper crop levels, personally sampling each vineyard, and hand-sorting each cluster, we ensure that the inherent character in the fruit is revealed in the finished wine. Minimal handling of wine is essential to preserve what it is; a gift of nature.

THE WINE

Ken Wright Cellars produces three tiers of Pinot noir. These three tiers serve as an educational experience about growing Pinot noir in the Willamette Valley. Their Willamette Valley Pinot noir is an introduction to the diverse qualities of the region. The next level is their AVA (American Viticultural Area) Series Pinot Noir which are expressions of their respective microclimates and specific geology. The ultimate connection of people to place is their 12 single vineyard Pinot noir offerings.

The Vineyards

More than any other variety, Pinot noir has very specific climatic needs. While other varieties can adapt to variable conditions, Pinot noir can be rather finicky, achieving success in only a handful of places in the world.
