Ken Wright Cellars Tanager Pinot Noir 2018 750 ML

Deep crimson. Spice-accented cherry and floral aromas are complemented by licorice, vanilla and black tea accents. Rich and velvety in texture, offering sappy black raspberry and cherry cola flavors that turn livelier as the wine opens up. Finishes long and spicy, with a lingering suggestion of mocha and sneaky tannins adding gentle grip.\n \n Producer Information\n Ken Wright Cellars is an Oregon-based wine producer located in Carlton.
