2022 King Estate Inscription Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

A glistening ruby color in the glass, this wine opens with a bouquet of dark fruit accented by floral, earthen and spice notes. On the entrance, taste deep raspberry, black currant jam, black plum, thimble berry, black tea, orange zest, lavender, chamomile, cedar, cigar box and toast. This thoroughly approachable wine with a robust palate is chock full of flavors and depth. Floral and fruit flavors compliment the oak component, allowing the wine to evolve during each sip. It is a complex and deep expression of the Pinot Noir grape with a refreshingly uplifting, sweet, jammy fruitiness on the finish.

Vineyard Notes

Inscription is classic Oregon Pinot Noir from the prestigious Willamette Valley AVA. This wine beautifully showcases the unique and authentic place Oregon holds in the world of fine wine.

Winemaker Notes

Each lot is fermented in small batches with whole cluster inclusion on select lots. Stainless steel fermentation with daily punch downs and pump overs is followed by malolactic fermentation. For further concentration of flavor and color, a small percentage of juice is bled off the red wine using the Saignée method. Barrel aged for eight months in French oak.
