 | 2008 King Estate Pinot Gris Signature Collection | 5/4/2012 | Wineasaurus Rex | 88 |
Holding up, but losing some crispness. Still has a soft mouth feel without the heaviness of overoaking. Amazing with Indian food - the cumin and coriander blend with the citrus of the wine to create an unbelievable new taste. A great patio wine, but sturdy enough to put with a spicy meal. It's fading, so drink it if you have it. (2445 views) | ||||

What a difference a year makes. Simple fruit forward, almost flat, with some sweetness. A short finish lacks the youthful citric crispness this wine once had. Understandably a bit past its prime. (2685 views) | ||||

Always excellent. Seeded fruit, citrus, and bit of floral. Crisp and fresh. (2714 views) | ||||

Nice nose of lemon and cream, simple palate with citrus notes, not too sweet, went well with whole rock fish and roasted root veggies. (3112 views) | ||||

A bit sweet on the finish at first. Went well with food. Fruit developed as it warmed. Very good. (1068 views) | ||||

Wife scored this one (and drank most of it). Definite citrus flavor. Aftertaste similar to the sweethearts I've been popping at the office... Pucker Up! (1534 views) | ||||

White fruit and light citrus nose and flavor, rather delicate, not tart. Short finish with notes of arugula -- sort of a built-in palate cleanser. Paired nicely with a dinner of wild-caught salmon, brussel sprouts, and baked yams. Simple and pleasant, but with more complexity than most PG. (1824 views) | ||||

Light straw color, very clear. Smells like cantaloupe. Crisp, fruity attack followed by citrus, melon. Clean finish w/ nice fruit. Well made. A flawless, but simple wine. (1289 views) | ||||

Fresh, clean aromas of grass and lemon. Palate shows minerally apricots and pears, short apricot finish. Very attractive up front, slightly marred by some flabbiness, and the short back end. Having said that, this is still a very nice wine. My guess is that this isn't going anywhere and the time to drink is now. | ||||

For my palate, this is such a fantastic new world white wine. Generous peach and pear aromas and flavors. A touch of crisp acidity and an overall flavor profile that's utterly enjoyable. Great wine to cool down a spicy dish. Highly recommended. (3041 views) | ||||

Nearly clear. Key lime on the nose. Lemon chiffon and mild minerality on the palate. Nice mix of acid and minerality. Dry with a short finish. Went well with and in a lemon garlic cream sauce with shrimp over pasta. (1408 views) | ||||

light straw color, licorice, peach on nose. citrus, peach, allspice, white pepper, sweet deliciousness up front, transitioning to tart fruit flavor for a nice finish. (2760 views) | ||||

Medium/full bodied, not as crisp as most PG, citrus and tropical fruit. Very good. (2885 views) | ||||

Flatter and less crisp than previous outing. Lacking a proper acid backdrop to hold together, so that citrus elements don't integrate well. Not sure what all the fuss is about. (2883 views) | ||||

Very dull; better the second night (330 views) | ||||
| 2008 King Estate Pinot Gris Signature Collection | 4/18/2010 | Ron Van Holland | 88 |
Practically clear with hint of yellow color. Delicate nose of stone and faint apple. Light/medium body on a dry (not bone dry) palate with medium acidity. Flavor of citrus mélange with some ripe apple and nice minerality. Medium finish fading to mild citrus rind (think gentle Alsatian). ...Two days later and appealing structure still intact. Simple wine but somewhat distinctive for this grape that in other hands seems to offer so little. (2945 views) | ||||

Nice bottle. Citrus and floral notes with a touch of sweetness and not much acidity. Easy drinking, and great in the garlic-lemon sauce we made for pork chops. (2922 views) | ||||

Good but maybe not as great as advertised. Seemed to lack a bit of acidity that i expected, just not quite as much zip as I think it should have. (3239 views) | ||||

Closed in aroma of grass and lemon. Full bodied, but not heavy, palate of minerals and pears with a touch of honey Very delicate by Pinot Gris standards, especially for New World Pinot Gris. Very pleasant, delicate, and it leaves you something to think about. Nice effort. (3027 views) | ||||

Drank this one night after the King Estate Pinot Gris Acrobat and found them quite comparable, though this was a bit tastier. Grassy and lively on the tongue -- actually both my wife and I thought this wine (particularly compared to the Acrobat) tasted like it had a bit of effervescence to it. Great at this price point!

Pale and straw in the glass. The nose revealed fresh cut grass, green apple and lemon zest with a tiny bit of wet stones. Light bodied in the mouth it was bursting with acidity and just a touch of sweet. The palate was more of the nose with green apples, lemon zest and grapefruit surrounded with some minerality. Someone else said it was a little tart at first and I agree with that. I really nice and well balanced Pinot Gris that is a very solid drinker. 50+5+12+16+7=90 (3480 views) | ||||

Very pale straw color. Cantaloupe stands out on the otherwise grassy nose. Grapefruit, green apple, and under-ripe peach on the palate. Smooth, medium length finish. Started out a little too tart, but softened up in the glass and grew on me. (3106 views) | ||||

A medium-bodied wine with good texture. Ample fruit without being over the top. We were looking for a wine that wasn't a mouthful (like a chardonnay) or too crisp (like a sauvignon blanc) and this was an excellent choice. I plan to buy more for the holidays. (3245 views) | ||||
