Lightly herbal, scented with tart pear and tasting the same, this organically grown estate wine is King Estate’s best Pinot Gris. Their signature bottling sets a good standard for the grape in Oregon; this elevates it with more detail, density and personality. The alcohol is a sensible 13%, allowing subtle green fruit and herb grace notes to emerge. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 89
