2018 King Estate Backbone Pinot Gris

Tasting Notes
-
Pale straw in color, the wine exhibits stone fruit flavors of peach and apricot along with tropical notes of pineapple, lemon blossom, jasmine and mandarin peel. Bright acidity leads to a lush, round finish. Enjoy now through 2026.

Vineyard Notes
-
Each vintage, our winemakers have the ability to ferment and age individual blocks and vineyards separately until they are blended. This allows our winemakers to hand-select individual fruit from a select range of Willamette Valley vineyards. Each vineyard contributes unique nuances and character to this blend, making this wine more than just the sum of its parts. The exceptional fruit coming from these storied vineyards provides the backbone for our King Estate Willamette Valley wines.
