King Estate - 2010 Oregon Pinot Gris


King Estate
2010 Oregon Pinot Gris

King Estate was founded in 1991 by the King family, and is located southwest of Eugene, Oregon.  King Estate is committed to producing Oregon wines of exceptional quality using organic and sustainable farming methods.  The beautiful estate which I visited a few weeks ago consists of 1,033 acres is certified organic and includes 470 acres of organic vineyards, as well as 30 acres of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

The 2010 Oregon Pinot Gris is a blend of grapes from multiple vineyards. The wine is golden, pale yellow in color.  The aromas are of apricot, nectarine, lime, vanilla, papaya, mango, and guava. Flavors are of white peaches, and grapefruit, and honeydew melon, with a vibrant, bright, balanced acidity.
