King Estate 2004 Domaine Vin Glacé Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
This is one solid, tight nectar with exotic stone-fruit aromas alongside honey, melon and apricot. It’s got just enough complexity to satisfy fans of serious European dessert wines. Long and sweet late, with excellent acidity and a lush texture.

King Estate 2006 Block 4D, Clone 777 Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- $75
This limited bottling is from a select block of the estate vineyard—a 470-acre vineyard that the winery believes is the largest contiguous certified organically farmed vineyard in the world. Also known as the Blackjack block (and wouldn’t that have slid down easier than Block 4D Clone 777) this fruity and forward wine brings a nice mix of blackberry, boysenberry…

King Estate 2009 Domaine Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Done in 100% stainless steel and left sur lie for eight months, this intensely fruity, spicy Pinot Gris could be the archetype for the Oregon style. Bold pear fruit is set in citrusy acids and dotted with cinnamon spice. Fresh, crisp and full-bodied.

King Estate 2002 Domaine Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
This latest release of King Estate’s top-of-the-line Domaine bottling shows that the 2001 was no fluke. A serious effort, juicy and concentrated, it opens with lovely scents of Pinot cherry-berry and plum fruit, layered with earth, wood, leaf, spice and plenty of tart fruit. The new oak is there but restrained, and the structure suggests that putting this one away…

King Estate 2003 Domaine Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- $25
King Estate’s new high end Domaine wines, organically grown and certified, are off to a great start with this exceptional pinot gris. Stone fruits and citrus peel flavors dominate, layered and textural. The fruit is fleshy but not fat, with pear, papaya and mixed tropical highlights, and a crisp, snappy, clean finish.

King Estate 2001 Domaine Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- $50
Most Oregon wineries seem to equate high prices with high extract, high alcohol, and high concentrations of new oak. King Estate’s lovely and elegant new Domaine bottling shows a different style to good effect. Powerful scents of pinot cherry/berry and plum fruit, laced with toast, milk chocolate, vanilla wafer and creamery butter lead into a firm, supple, silky…

King Estate 2004 Domaine Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- $25
Pretty and elegant, it mixes detailed notes of pear, melon and light guava fruits, layered and textural. Beautifully balanced and harmonious, it’s the second straight success for this new tier of organic, estate-grown wines.

King Estate 2004 Vin Glacé Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- $18
Straightforward but hedonistic, with pure yet mature apricot and nectarine aromas flowing on an unctuous, fully ripe bouquet. Candied apple, orange and apricot flavors are committed and easy to grasp; really focuses on freshness and acidity more than complexity.
