Retail $70. Another second bottle tonight from the Second Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir. King Estate is one of the largest producers in the Willamette Valley and most of the wines that I have tried have been solid, but a bit lacking in soul. That is not the case here: rich, earthy, fruity, loaded with menthol, vanilla, oak, and herbal notes. While this is far from its Burgundian brethren, it is fruity, fun, tasty, and lasting. Fantastic.
The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $70. Medium color. Rich nose of candied cherry, even chocolate. The palate is fantastic: rich, tart, lengthy finish. Excellent. 92-94 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com
