A wonderful moment in our family’s life to have the opportunity to be with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her family in McCrone Vineyard. Her and her family loved wine and loved hearing about the history and geology of the area. It was a complete pleasure to host her. May she rest in peace. — Ken Wright #riprbg #ruthbaderginsburg #kenwrightcellars #sourceiseverything #singlevineyardpinotnoir #tastetheplace #visitcarlton #visitoregon #traveloregon #oregonwine #oregonpinot #pinotnoir #wine #drinkyc #yamhillcarltonava #drinkeolaamity #oregonwinery #willamettevalleywine #wvwines #oregonwinecountry #oregonwine #gowinetasting #wineclub #pnw

Before choosing to harvest a vineyard, thoughtful tasting and sampling is done at each one of our sites to determine flavor and ripeness. Sampling begins weeks prior to picking and involves both measuring of brix (sugar content) and pH (acid). These numbers are important for consideration, but more importantly, is the flavor. This morning Ken and vineyard manager Seth Miller, were out doing some tasting and collecting clusters for sampling from Hirschy Vineyard in the @yamhillcarlton . Ken said the fruit is tasting delicious and expects to pick early next week! In the photos Ken is seen using a refractometer, which measures the sugar content in the berry. While Seth is picking random clusters to take back to our lab for further testing. #kenwrightcellars #sourceiseverything #singlevineyardpinotnoir #tastetheplace #visitcarlton #visitoregon #traveloregon #oregonwine #oregonpinot #pinotnoir #wine #drinkyc #yamhillcarltonava #drinkeolaamity #oregonwinery #willamettevalleywine #wvwines #oregonwinecountry #oregonwine #gowinetasting #wineclub #pnw #harvest2020 #hirschyvineyard

Please keep Oregon in your thoughts this week as fires continue to rage throughout the state. Our team, winery and vineyards are all safe. Thank you all who have reached out. We would also like to take this time to thank our firefighters and first responders working day and night to protect our communities. Stay safe!

We are excited to introduce you to one of the newest members of our winery team! Please meet our new Director of Hospitality—Ruthie Magnus! If you haven't already meet Ruthie, get to know her a bit better through her bio below. Be sure to welcome her on your next visit to KWC! Born in Pennsylvania but raised in Florida, Ruthie is an east coast transplant. Her first job was at the age of 13 serving ice cream at a popular shop near the intercoastal in the Sunshine State. She’s had many exciting service industry jobs since and found her way to the wine industry after graduating from the University of Central Florida. Many hours of contemplation, studying, and wine drinking prompted her to put down her couples counseling plans and pursue her dream to work with wine. One trip to Oregon that year prior was enough to seal the deal. She packed up her Jeep and her two cats and headed west with no idea how she was going to get her foot in the door. Ruthie got her first job in the industry as a wedding and event coordinator for a local winery in 2011. She has worked in multiple tasting rooms since, became a venue manager, and also her real estate license. To Ruthie’s delight, Ken Wright welcomed her to the family in March of 2020 thanks to the suggestion of Julianne Kennedy. On her days off, you can find Ruthie daydreaming out on the coast, hiking and gardening. She is also a member of the Aurora Historic Review Board and the North Marion County Library Association. #kenwrightcellars #sourceiseverything #singlevineyardpinotnoir #tastetheplace #visitcarlton #visitoregon #traveloregon #oregonwine #oregonpinot #pinotnoir #wine #drinkyc #yamhillcarltonava #drinkeolaamity #oregonwinery #willamettevalleywine #wvwines #oregonwinecountry #oregonwine #gowinetasting #wineclub #pnw

With plenty of summer left, we are excited to announce the release of our 2019 vintage Canary Hill Rosé both in standard bottle and now in 1.5 Liter Magnum! This wine exhibits lively notes of Bing cherry, fresh strawberry, rhubarb and rose petal. Bright acidity on the palate keeps the wine playful and refreshing backed with a breadth of rich and pleasing textutre.
