Ken Wright Pinot Noir Savoya Vineyard 09

Review:

Ken Wright's estate vineyard, the Savoya Vineyard's bright, fresh berry fruit flavors are tinted with a distinctive hint of sandalwood and spice.

2009 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Crisp in texture, with a thin veil of tight tannins around the dark berry, pepper and sandalwood flavors, lingering easily on the expressive finish. Drink now through 2019. - H.S.

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

2008 Wine Advocate - 92 points - The medium ruby-colored 2008 Pinot Noir Savoia displays an ethereal perfume of cedar, spice box, rose petal, and assorted red fruits. Leaner and racier on the palate than its peers, this is an elegantly styled effort with impeccable balance and a lengthy, seamless finish. Give it 1-2 years to fill out and drink it through 2020. - Jay Miller
