There's a light whiff of the chicken coop here, adding an unexpected note of earthiness to the fresh raspberry fruit. The flavors spread out horizontally across the palate, coating it completely and lingering with a finishing touch of mint chocolate cookie. PAUL GREGUTT

Planted in 1989, the 2014 Pinot Noir Guadalupe Vineyard has an elegant and pure bouquet with wild strawberry and raspberry coulis, nuanced pine cone scents developing with aeration, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, dark berry fruit mixed with brown spices and a touch of sea-salt with a satisfying, long finish. This is one of Ken Wright's best 2014s.- NM
