2021 King Estate Inscription Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

A deep ruby color in the glass, the wine greets the nose with fruit aromas of raspberry, black plum and currant, with violet, orange peel, cedar, leather and forest floor. Flavors of dark fruit – black cherry, plum and currant –up front on the palate are joined by bramble and cedar with some tobacco and leather. This is a bold wine with full fruit, balanced acidity and smooth tannins. A long, lingering finish boasts big fruit and spicy, toasty oak.

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 up to 20% whole cluster inclusion. Stainless steel fermentation with daily punch downs and pump overs is followed by malolactic fermentation. For further concentration of flavor and color, 7% of juice is bled off the red wine using the Saignée method. Barrel-aged for eight months in French oak.
