King Estate Pinot Gris 2023 750ml

Expert Review – Vintage 2023

Lettie Teague The Wall Street Journal|Oregon is most famous for Pinot Noir, followed by Chardonnay. But at King Estate Pinot Gris is the largest-production varietal by far. This medium-bodied dry white marked by notes of pear and peach has a pleasantly zesty finish.

Wine Spectator 90 Points | Sleek and succulent, with fragrant honeysuckle, lemon and nectarine flavors that glide on the vibrant finish. Drink now. 3,000 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | These lemon, mint, basil and iced tea aromas will have you daydreaming about languishing on a veranda somewhere warm and tropical. The wine’s lemon shortbread and grapefruit flavors will not dissuade you of that notion. This is lighter-bodied fare, with gentle acidity. Michael Alberty
