2023 King Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

Bright fruit on the nose boasts notes of black cherry, black plum, violets, rose, orange, cocoa nibs, tobacco, mushroom and forest floor. On the palate, complex layers of fruit slowly melt into a bold, structured wine that impresses from start to finish. Velvety tannins interact gracefully with the wine’s fruit and acidity, all coming together to create a delightful wine and a beautiful expression of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.

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. This wine is testament to Oregon’s reputation for outstanding Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that only grows stronger over time.

Winemaker Notes

Whole clusters were destemmed and cold soaked for 48 hours with daily pump overs. Some whole clusters were left intact in select lots for additional complexity. During fermentation, up to 8% of juice was bled off using the Saignée method for further concentration of flavor and color. Fermentation was in stainless steel open top tanks with daily punch downs. Aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.
