Off-vintage but tasty. A bit of a mouldy nose, eucaliptus, pine, herbs, blackcurrants and blueberries. Really strong presence of a pencil shaves note. Not as heavy and concentrate as it is. — 8 years ago
Nice wine, affordable price! — 9 years ago
Beautiful light golden in color. Light aroma of mineral and flavors of citrus, lemon and apple. Crisp and easy to drink. Would pair well with salads and grilled fish. — 9 years ago
Cherry, strawberry, baked apple pie crust on the nose. Slightly tart cherry, creamy strawberry and touch of sweetness on the finish. — 10 years ago
Plums, spices and mint on the nose. Tons of ripe fruit and firm tannin. Well balanced and full bodied. — 10 years ago
2011 - dark berries jump out of the glass, with subtle notes of cola on closer inspection. Pepper and dark berries with a touch of cherry on the palate, lovely acidity in the back half and a lovely long finish and sultry tannin. Beautiful wine from a spectacular terroir. — 11 years ago
Picture perfect rendition of what dry Clare Valley Riesling should be, without any crazy surprises. Bright ripe citrus, slightly under ripe tropical fruit, and bitter white phenols. Very enjoyable. — 11 years ago

Starting the week off with the 2011 King Estate Pinot Noir from Eugene, OR. King Estate is located 20 miles southwest of Eugene, OR on the southwest edge of the Willamette Valley on 1033 acres certified organic vineyard. I tried this four years ago and it has seemed to have matured a bit sunce then in those four years. A more pleasurable wine this time around.
On the nose there is beautiful fruit of strawberry, cherry, red raspberry, cranberry, vanilla, a little barnyard, cola and a slight bit of licorice.
On the palate I am getting sour cherry, tart strawberry, red raspberry, pomegranate, vanilla, eucalyptus and a light oak note.
The wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and medium smooth tannin that leads right into a medium to long beautiful tart fruit prolonged finish. A very nice wine that is an easy drinker. The week is starting off right so have a great week and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago
Soft and pure fruit. Very gentle soft finish. Plenty of acid but aslo rounded fruit. — 9 years ago
Good concentration of fruit, still very tight come back in a long time to enjoy this wine more — 9 years ago
Hints of mocha on the nose. Moderately dry, medium body. Red raspberry & cassis forward. Understated finish. (Wood fire frijoles lamb chops w/ asparagus rosoito / gallinano chicken w/ roasted potatoes) — 10 years ago
Nice wine. Probably not the 94 that it has received in the press — 10 years ago
Refreshing balance of acid, texture and fruit. Delicious — 10 years ago
Just a hint of kerosene on the nose, her palest of apple fruits and a touch of acidity. This has aged very well and with some good weight in the mouth, a fine example of mature Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago
Really nice drop — 11 years ago
Powerful aromas and flavours with grainy savoury tannins. These Wendouree Reds are built to last and I am starting to realise that they are best after 15 years. Certainly another 10 years in this one. Very Australian with Eucalypt/Menthol and earthy minerality - more savoury than fruit driven - not surprising at 17 years of age. — 7 years ago
R character modified by terroir and style to bright acidity and firm gorgeous tannins. Richness and intensity belies the thought of Pinot blanc — 9 years ago
Easy drinking, smooth. — 9 years ago
Favorite of the bunch. Lots of dark fruits and especially blueberries, finished with a hint of sweet vanilla — 10 years ago
A tsunami of fruit — 10 years ago
One of my favorites. Love to pair it with a citrus cream pasta & prosciutto. — 11 years ago
Luisa and Elena both really liked this. They sipped in front of the fire at home. Elena home for the weekend and writing a paper. — 11 years ago
