Tasting notes
The 2007 Pinot Noir Carter Vineyard is from a 1983 planting. Lovely aromas of smoke, spice, underbrush, incense, and black cherry lead to a round, velvety, sweetly fruited Pinot with enough structure and balance to evolve for 2-3 years. It should provide pleasure from 2012 to 2022. Ken Wright describes 2007 as -?a really difficult year. It challenged me to be really good at farming and to be patient?Luckily it was cool and the fruit remained intact.- All things considered, it appears that Wright performed optimally in this challenging vintage with what nature provided.

Bright red. Highly perfumed bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, Asian spices and incense. Tangy and sharply focused, with good mineral cut to the bright red berry and bitter cherry skin flavors. Fleshes out with air and finishes on a sweet raspberry note, with a complicating hint of smoky herbs.
