The 2012 Pinot Noir Guadalupe Vineyard, is from the vineyard that abuts the Dundee Hills and is the last marine sediment before the land rises and turns into volcanic soils. Ken Wright believes that it should have been included in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA instead of the Dundee Hills AVA. The nose makes quite an impact: quite intense with red cherries, cranberry leaf, autumn leaves and a touch of allspice. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin on the entry, the fruit veering towards red rather than black, although the finish needs more cohesion to match the quality of the aromatics.
