Tobin’s Review 3 out of 5
Ken Wright’s Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2019 has a light plum ruby hue with robust cherry and slight cranberry aromas. The wine has a full mouth feel that is offset by juicy tart cherry, slight oak, chocolate and vanilla notes. It’s a good wine, but is a bit tart on the finish.
