Ken Wright Cellars er beliggende i Carlton, Oregon.
KWC er dedikeret til Pinot Noir som han mener udtrykkes bedst i enkeltmarkerne.
Ken Wright Cellars laver hovedsageligt vine fra forskellige marker i Oregon samt chardonnay fra Washington state og Pinot Blanc fra Oregon.
Ken Wright startede tilbage i 1986 hvor han startede vineriet "Panther Creek" med en produktion på 10 fade.
Indenfor få år udviklede han sig fra at være en dygtig blander til en yderst talentfuld enkeltmarks vinmager. I 1994 startede han så "Ken Wright Cellars", og på et tidspunkt var han både vinmager på KWC og på Domaine Serene.
Enkeltmarksvinene blev hans omdrejningspunkt, i nogle årgange lavede han 12 forskellige individuelle vine, siden 2007 har det dog ligget stabilt på 10 forskellige.

De 3 estatevine er; Abbott Claim, Canary Hill og Savoya, resten af vinene er på kontrakt hvor udbytte, dyrkning og pleje af markerne er specificeret ned til mindste detalje af KWC:
