2021 King Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

This is a beautifully complex wine with elegant fruit and structure. Classic Pinot Noir aromas and flavors of dark fruit – black raspberry, marionberry, blueberry and ripe dark cherry – are joined by accents of black tea, clove, vanilla, toast, orange zest and forest floor. Supple tannins and bright acidity on the palate lead to a coating finish with lingering spiciness.

Vineyard Notes

Fruit from our own Biodynamic® estate is carefully blended with that of other like minded vineyard partners to make our flagship Pinot Noir from a strong Oregon vintage. With this wine, discover why Oregon’s reputation for outstanding Willamette Valley Pinot Noir grows stronger over time.

Winemaker Notes

Whole clusters are destemmed then allowed to cold oak for 48 hours with daily pump overs. Some whole clusters are left intact in select lots for additional complexity. During fermentation, 10% of juice is bled off using the Saignée method for further concentration of flavor and color. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel open top tanks with daily punch downs. Aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.
