My first Oregon cab franc. Succulent layers of deep dark fruit with a hint of barnyard funk. Slight essence of cumin and Moroccan spices. More fruit-forward than French cab francs, but this is an interesting new world interpretation. Nice use of oak makes it feel like an older vintage. 90pts — 9 years ago

Stunning white peach notes and mouthwatering citrus. A creaminess that is very pleasant on the tongue and a hints of oak, definitely not overpowering. A Chardonnay that you can drink all night. — 10 years ago

More tannin than I was expecting. Good hit of cherry and under ripe raspberry. Light whiff of cigar box. Wonderful. — 10 years ago

Wonderful dry Pinot Gris. Although very one-dimensional on the nose, mostly grassy and herbal, it is a full and rich wine. Lots of acidity is balanced by citrus flavors and stony minerals. Pleasing dry finish. — 11 years ago

2005. What a wonderful bottle of ripe ready well made wine! A region of lofty heights, at less then a kings ransom, this is a producer offering great juice at a bargain price. — 12 years ago

A new favorite of mine. On the rocks is so refreshing. So layered and complex on the nose and the palate. Outstanding. — 8 years ago

This utterly beautiful Auslese-style Oregon Riesling, named "Raisins" and plush as the night is long, is a remarkable American Riesling! It is sweet, but wraps the sweetness in luxe power that embraces any opulent fare. Nothing short of bravura!! — 9 years ago

Delicious Okanagan Falls Pinot Noir. It is rich and heavy like an California Pinot. The nose is cherry and the mouth and finish are balanced and smooth. A really nice wine — 10 years ago

Great blend. Barley, rye, and a nice oat flavor. Good complexity. Buttery spice. — 10 years ago

Yes yes and yes. Take note, Oregon, California, whoever else out there making Riesling. Don't ruin it for us acid-heads. This is a Riesling made in an Alsace-style. Don't let the Willamette Valley on the label fool you. — 11 years ago

I met Carol Meredith at James King's house when she introduced her wines to our wine group. I liked this one the best and bought a couple bottles. It has a quality that is hard to describe... — 12 years ago

A great addition to a manhattan or just alone. Reasonably priced — 8 years ago

We had great expectations for this wine. Sadly, those expectations were not realized.
On the nose, we detected iron, tart cherries and redcurrants.

On the palette, it lacks the typical opulence we have come to expect from this producer. No plush, velvety texture. Mild root vegetables and burnt oak comes to mind. We are of the view that these grapes did not reach full maturity. Good acid structure, but the wine lacks cohesion. A good example, but not great.

We paid a king's ransom for this and Plumpjack still have our hostage. sniff... — 9 years ago

20 year-old Pinot Gris? Yes indeed, and from Ed King's own collection. This exceedingly rare 1995 King Estate Oregon Pinot Gris, in flawless condition with no visual signs of oxidation—still perfectly lemon yellow with a clear rim, with mature yet exceedingly lovely notes of caramelized apple, poached pear, furniture lacquer, and later, on opening, marzipan and granulated honey. In the mouth, the acidity is surprisingly intact, vivid, and lends framework to orchard fruit tinged with walnut skins. On a side note, King Estate is currently conducting research to try to figure out why it is that their Pinot Gris ages so well. This and the other vintages I've been lucky enough to taste held up admirably upon opening, and indeed, improved over the course of the evening. Certainly, bottles like this present a compelling argument for the ageability of Oregon Pinot Gris. Sample — 10 years ago

Great floral gin. More floral than herbal, very Oregon. Better for a Corpse Reviver #2 or Negroni than a martini(IMHO) or G/T. — 10 years ago

One of the first bottles put together for HRH Edward VII back in 1903...today known as the King's Ginger Liqueur. Ginger had sufficient time to tame and to combine with the Brandy base which results in a dramatic and glorious Herby character suggesting linden and verbeina. Great digestif! — 10 years ago

Rich and ripe with flavors of ripe pears and layers and layers of other fruit coupled with enough bracing acid to balance. The finish is long and I tasted apple cider a full two minutes after sipping. — 11 years ago

One of my favorite hard to find Paso Cabs to pair with my sous vide ribeye. Nice little birthday pair. — 11 years ago
