Horse kick of sour, pruny and almost raisiny cherries on the nose, like you have forgotten your delicious fruit in the sun for too long. The mouthfeel is controlled by by a rich, supple texture, with a light oak influence and a warm, spicy finish. The vanilla and cinnamon layers add substance and complexity, at the same time the red berries provide a sweet and fruity contrast. The wine's demanding nature is evident in its high zest and tannins, making it a true test of the winemaker's skill.

What the web is saying

Kings Ridge Pinot Noir receives mixed feedback, praised for its smooth texture, cherry notes, and value, while criticized for occasional lack of complexity. Many highlight its well-balanced structure and earthy undertones, though some find it overly tart or thin. While some appreciate its Oregon terroir expression, others note inconsistency across vintages.

Voss Experts4.6

Kings Ridge Pinot Noir, upon pouring, presents a radiant ruby red hue, immediately captivating the senses with aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and hints of forest floor. As the wine breathes, it unveils nuanced notes of violets, wet stone, and a touch of spice. The palate is graced with a beautiful balance of bright red fruit flavors, smooth tannins, and a vibrant acidity that gives the wine its characteristic lift. The finish is elegant and lingering, with subtle earthy undertones. This Pinot Noir, with its harmonious blend of fruit, terroir, and structure, is not only a delightful sipper but also a versatile partner to a variety of dishes, from salmon to duck. It underscores the magic that emerges when the right varietal finds its perfect home in the Willamette Valley.
