The seed for a career in wine was planted squarely in Bourbon country of Lexington, Kentucky. While waiting tables to put himself through school, Ken was exposed to fine wines from regions around the world. The passion became avocation when Ken left the Bluegrass State to attend enology and viticulture classes at UC-Davis. Eight years were spent winemaking for Ventana Vineyards, Chalone and Talbott Vineyards in Monterey County of California?s central coast. Friends from the Willamette Valley piqued Ken?s interest in the region when they would visit, and a trip to the Dundee Hills in 1976 convinced him that this was where the finest Pinot noir in North America was being grown.
The Latchkey vineyard is shared with Cody Wright (of Purple Hands). Spicy cranberry, strawberry and raspberry fruit shines here, young and fresh and vibrant. It's snappy and sappy, with good grip and supporting acidity. It should drink best in the early 2020s
