Community Tasting Notes 8

  October 11, 2022 - Pleasant, terroir-driven bouquet. Appealing attack and middle, typical of WV Pinot Noir. Very good weight and structure. The wine turns edgy, with a metallic quality at the back, and the 13.5 abv also obtrudes at this point. Food helps.

  March 22, 2022 - Cherries on nose and palate. A nice wine, balanced but little complexity. Medium finish.

  July 5, 2021 - Retail $20. Under screw cap. From one of the larger producers in the Willamette, this is another affordable yet still solid effort from King Estate. Fairly dark in color, at least for a Pinot, with plenty of red berry fruit, a bit of forrest floor, and touches of eucalyptus and anise. The palate is quite fruity with a healthy dose of tartness coming in on the mid-palate, followed by earth and then more fruit before an above-average finish with just a hint of tannin. Quite lovely regardless of price (but that makes this wine close to a steal).
