2019 King Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 375mL

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in the glass, the nose boasts aromas of fresh strawberry pomegranate, dark cherry, mocha, toast, clove, graphite and tea. The entrance is soft and bright, leading to a mid-palate with a little more heft, all while showing lush flavors of fresh strawberry, raspberry, forest floor, tea, mocha, eucalyptus, orange peel, cherry, plum and rose. The finish satisfies with lingering notes of fruit and spice, lovely acidity, and firm yet approachable tannins.
