Angela
“Angela is the near-mythical pinot noir made for Clawson Creek Vineyards by famed winemaker Ken Wright. A few years ago, the first Angela was reported by a few lucky wine drinkers on wine blogs . . . but even those of us in the know could not seem to track down a bottle here in Oregon. Later, Ken said he would never make the wine again . . . but in fact, he has. With the '06 vintage, we were able to supply the Angela to about half the people who wanted some. Now, with the excellent '07, I expect we will be able to fill all requests . . . as long as you don't wait very long to order...”
