Pleasant smooth fruit — 7 years ago
Fruity, crisp and clean with notes of lime zest. I love that the grapes are either from King Estate's organic and biodynamic vineyard or other sustainably-farmed vineyards. I'm a fan of Pinot Gris and I like this wine a lot. At $15 it's a great value. — 8 years ago

Such a fun wine!! Raspberry, cherry and black pepper! — 7 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 — 9 years ago
Great salmon wine — 6 years ago
A savory juicy textured herbal food pairing champ. Like cooking sous-vide with an immersion circulator, what was once a geeky oddity has found a permanent home on our table. Not a universal solution, but really the right tool for the job in certain situations. Like pan seared halibut with fennel or spring vegetable risotto. — 6 years ago
I love this wine. I love this wine because it exists all the way at the 'painstakingly clean and precise' end of the skin-contact spectrum. Don't get me wrong, I love the super-natty wild and wooly and of the spectrum too. But this. This is so purely and exactly what it sets out to be. And I love it. — 7 years ago
