A representation of the ancient marine sediment soil series created over 200MM years by the North American plate sheering the ocean floor off of the Juan De Fuca plate as it subducts beneath. This specific representation is of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, where many of our many world class vineyard holdings call home. The sandstone and siltstone mother rock in provide the uptake of the trace elements to create the regional identity of this Sedimentary AVA.

Bursts of raspberry, pomegranate, dragon fruit and rhubarb. Spice and floral notes of gardenia, rose petal, coffee and clove. Soft and supple tannins for a mouth watering finish.

An old Marine ocean bed dominates the terrain of Yamhill-Carlton, and the jeweled ruby-colored 2022 Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton offers a more savory side, with generous aromas of sea spray and a light umami feel, along with notes of black raspberries, grenadine, and mossy earth. Medium to full-bodied, it has a chiseled structure and a ripe feel, with hints of tea leaf and crushed stony earth.

A jeweled light ruby core with a light brick rim, the 2022 Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir from Ken Wright is lush with earthy aromas of dried thyme and dusty country road alongside fruity notes of lemon zest, black cherries, and red currants. It’s medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins, lemony acidity, and a long finish.
