Gut Rot,Jug wine and NEXT. All the same to me. Hung over the entire NEXT day, which is why the NEXT time I see a directive on a label I'm following it. NEXT time - just say no thanks.

A wine with good density and structure, King Estate's Next Pinot Noir is redolent of cherry, spice, plum and florals. Round yet balanced, this wine is drinking very well now, especially with veal or pork tenderloin, and will also reward 3-5 years in a cellar. (VINTAGES panel, Jan. 2008)

Agree with most of the comments below. A nice, light Pinot for the price (~$15 on sale), but doesn't come close to the 2003 King Estate Freedom Hills we tried a few night ago (but of course that one is $$)

Tasted as part of a pinot flight @ KE. Cherries and oak on nose. Strawberry & fruit, short finish. Decent stuff but not worth the $22/bottle. This is positioned in their lineup as their 'value' PN, but I don't see it...

Very light. Not too much there. But enjoyable. Some cherry.

A lean style that reminded me of some of what is coming out of NZ these days with dark fruit and pine cone notes that are simple and appealing.

Popped and poured. Nice light Oregon Pinot with up front fruit and quick finish. Enjoyable.
