Ken Wright has worked the McCrone Vineyard since 1995. The 2012 Pinot Noir McCrone Vineyard has a well-defined bouquet with red cherry, cranberry and walnut scents that gain vigor with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with tart cherry fruit mixed with allspice and saline notes. This is a little more high-toned than Ken Wright's other 2012s, but with a little more length on the finish. - Neal Martin
