Pinot Noir "Shea Vineyard", Ken Wright Cellars, OR, 2023

Wine Enthusiast

If you have ever traipsed around a wetland area, you may know the sweet-scented joy of the pink-hued swamp rose. Imagine your favorite garden rose's scent multiplied by ten. This is the first wine I've ever associated with that lovely perfume. Additional aromas of dark raspberries and red figs lead to flavors of red raspberries, cranberries, dried blueberries and lemon zest. All that fruit is ably backed by bright acidity and tannins with a mild grip. — Michael Alberty
