  I was lucky enough to have tasted a vertical of King Estate Pinot Gris, the oldest from 1995. While Pinot Gris is a variety that is championed for its ageworthiness, the 2008 Kine Estate Domain defies that logic—it's fabulously fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity leading the charge. White grapefruit and lime zest intertwine wet stone, slate and mildly leesy undertones. This particular bottle is drinking beautifully. 13.0% ABV Sample

  Not as satisfying as the bottle I had a couple of years ago. Medium body. Bold fermented lemon and orange, then a sudden, simple finish and a light citrus taste that lingers.

  Holding up very nicely. Stood up very well with asparagus.

  Good, but I didn't enjoy it as much this time around. Tasted on the 3rd day after storage in a vacuum wine cooler and the wine was pretty good. What a chameleon. Recommended.

  Rock'n value and a crowd pleaser. Do yourself a favor and buy some (a case?).
