In 1986, with family, belongings and 10 barrels in tow, Ken moved to McMinnville and started Panther Creek Cellars. His concept of focusing on vineyard-designate bottling began during those years at Panther Creek and was cemented as a core philosophy in 1994 when Ken Wright Cellars was founded in historic downtown Carlton. Ken now makes a single vineyard bottling from 13 vineyard sites in the Northern Willamette Valley. Given his appreciation of sense of place, it was a given that Ken would contribute to the locations and industry near and dear to his heart. Instrumental in organizing the six new American Viticultural Area (AVA)’s in the Northern Willamette Valley that define in detail the distinct growing areas within the region, he wrote the proposition for the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and served as the association’s first President. His wines rank among the very best Oregon has to offer, year after year.

The finest wine of this new lineup comes from the Shea Vineyard, planted by Dick Shea in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. This is one of the premier sites for Pinot Noir in all of Oregon. On the nose this takes on wild blackberry and dark rose petals alongside rocky soils and tobacco leaf. The palate is rich and powerful with terrific structure, tension, minerality and mouthfeel. A delicious wine that has a long life in front of it, enjoy now and over the next fifteen years to come. Drink 2026-2041.
