2017 Ken wright pinot noirs

The 2017 vintage in the Willamette Valley was a throwback to the classic vintages, an end to the exceptionally warm vintages from 2012 until 2016. The area experienced a very dry summer from July into August, going 56 days without rain. Cooler, wet weather helped refresh the clusters and whole berries were preserved. The wines are dark in color and have high-toned aromatics. Ken Wright feels that they are reminiscent of the wonderful 1988 vintage wines. Come in and sample a selection of these rich and delicious gems with Sales Manager, Asa Sarver, on Saturday, February 2nd at both shops.

Staff Picks

Barolo under $50

Barolo wines are made from Nebbiolo—a small, thin skinned red grape, high in acidity, and that can be quite tannic when young. Barolo wines must be made solely of Nebbiolo. The Langhe district of northwestern Piedmont is divided into two parts. The Serralunga Valley encompasses the eastern communes of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d’Alba, and Serralunga d’Alba. The Central Valley covers Barolo proper and La Morra. The prices for Barolo have jumped in recent years, but with the string of excellent vintages backing up inventories, we now see many values in the market. These are great winter reds to serve with mushroom risotto, polenta with truffle salt, and simply prepared roast chicken.

FEATURED WINES - 2015 BORDEAUX

Stephen Spurrier called the 2015 vintage a very modern Bordeaux vintage, saying “…the fruit dominates the tannins and the acidity.” Many comparisons are drawn with the 2005 and 2010 vintages, but winemakers view the 2015 as more elegant and accessible than both 2005 and 2010. Two words consistently come up from reviewers— freshness and structure. The first wines of the vintage, petit châteaux as they are lovingly called, are beginning to arrive, we will taste a selection on Saturday, January 12th at both shops.
