Ken Wright has worked with this volcanic site since 1989. The 2023 Pinot Noir Carter Vineyard, from a now 23-acre site originally planted with Pommard, pours a medium ruby and offers notes of pomegranate, incense, wild strawberries, flowers, and bright spice. Medium-bodied, it’s energetic and refined, with fine, angular tannins and a floating, elegant finish.
