Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The 2017 King Estate Pinot Noir from the renowned Willamette Valley is a captivating experience that beautifully showcases this varietal's finesse. With a medium-bodied structure, this wine offers delightful acidity that brightens the palate and brings a refreshing lift to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of ripe red cherries, strawberries, and subtle undertones of earthiness that add depth and complexity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel that complements the wine's fruit character. Elegantly balanced, this Pinot Noir is perfectly dry and food-friendly, making it an excellent choice to pair with a variety of dishes, from roasted poultry to rich mushroom risotto, enhancing both the wine and the meal.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
