Dumb to start with but as it list it’s chill it opened up to become a soft peach, textural, tongue wrapping delight. — 6 years ago
Bright red and black fruit, cinnamon, and sweet baking spices, with well integrated smoke and cedar. Backbone is the perfect name for this more structured, bold Oregon Pinot. — 7 years ago
Bloody good. It had to be as it cost the price of a small duchy.
I have a whole bottle of this greatness with me. Not a good idea.
Taste is sort of dry, not sweet and not bitter...all in equal mix. Taste of lots of stuff. It's been through different cask apparently. Bourbon, Madeira, Port...
Lovely aroma. Doesn't come to hit you right back. — 7 years ago

Pretty amazing for.a 2001. Held up really well. Strong cherry notes with a smooth finish. Drops off a little at the end, but very enjoyable. — 9 years ago
An absolutely gorgeous Shiraz - and a steal for the price. Black pepper, licorice, and dark fruits on the nose, deliciously rich textbook flavors on the palate, but not overwhelming. Balanced and nuanced. Mile long finish. Beautiful. — 9 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
Mike Grgich, the “King of Chardonnay” farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months and did not undergo malolactic fermentation. The color is a pale golden yellow with aromas of stone, tropical fruit and citrus. The palate shows off apple, melon and peach flavors, with some orange rind and nutty notes coming through. The finish was rich and creamy with some spicy mineral and perfumed tones lingering to a complex ending. Not your typical California Chardonnay, Grgich delivers like a few can! — 8 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
