Winery review: 2015 King Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has a deep garnet color with bright crimson tinges. The nose has aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and licorice. The palate has dark fruit flavors, like blackberry and black cherry, with a subtle clove finish. This is full, supple and complex, coming together nicely with softened tannins and pleasant acidity. Enjoy now through at least 2030.
My review: I really enjoyed this wine. It had a fantastic crispness to it, was nicely tart without being sour, and a very well-rounded flavor. I read the winery description after drinking, and in retrospect I can definitely pick out the general dark fruity flavors they describe (though not the specifics). I wish I had drank it slower, but it was too good!
