Acrobat 2009 Pinot Gris (Oregon)

Best Buy

Price $12

Even better than the excellent 2008 Acrobat, this ups the alcohol to about 13% and gives the impression of dryness, though there might be a trace of residual sugar. In any event, it’s loaded with pretty pear fruit flavor, lightly dusted with cinnamon spice, and fills the mouth with its body and gentle hint of spritz. A fine summer sipper. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

Acrobat 2008 Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Price $20

A new label from King Estate, this forward, fruity, aromatic Pinot Noir offers tart cranberry, raspberry and black cherry, backed with moderate tannins, baking chocolate, caramel and toasted hazelnuts. A lot of flavor for the modest price. — P.G. (12/15/2009)

Acrobat 2008 Pinot Gris (Oregon)

Best Buy

Price $12

This pleasant Pinot Gris is value priced, and has slightly more residual sugar (.66 percent) and less alcohol (12.2%) than the King Estate bottling. With ripe, fresh, spicy pear flavors and crisp natural acids, it’s a sure-fire food wine. — P.G. (12/15/2009)

Acrobat 2010 Pinot Gris (Oregon)

Best Buy

Price $12

This is a lovely bottle, with pure pear fruit flavor front and center. It’s clean, ripe and fresh, with plenty of substance and a fresh, crisp finish. — P.G. (12/1/2011)

Acrobat 2010 Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Price $18

Rich scents carry a subtle hint of leather and barnyard, but the fruit is still abundant. The slightly funky character adds weight and depth, and the impression is of a round, full bodied red, with plenty of charm. — P.G. (6/1/2012)

Acrobat 2009 Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Price $18

This is dusty, and scented with earth and pine needles. Quite young, it tastes very tart, almost like cranberry juice. With significant breathing time it begins to broaden out and hint at a dusty, chocolate undertone. Good grip and medium body. — P.G. (12/15/2010)
