The “King of Chardonnay” Mike Grgich farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months, no MLF. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone & citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & lemon citrus flavors, with honeysuckle, vanilla & toasty oak notes. Nice balance with acidity on long finish with a toasty mineral ending. Not your typical CA Chard, very nice! — a month ago

Pale lemon color with stone and tropical fruit aromas with sweet spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and lemon citrus with floral spice tone. Lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and spice. Nice value! — 2 years ago

Solid effort from a classic, even tempered vintage…this likely spent approx 8 mon in barrel, and the downward slope is evident of less tannic input. Nevertheless, and a nice stewed red fruit core is delish as a sipper or with lighter proteins. Acids have waned a bit to far for serious food cleanup. Our house made Thai coconut beef curry soup was even a little too much, but it still was delicious to have in between long bites and afterwords with Keylime pie. This is my aging/cellar project… Learn how vintages and terroir match with winemaking and longevity. Lesson learned here… as the 2010 is the benchmark of a plus Merlot from the Monticello AVA. The 2010 is twice the wine that this is… Emphasizing the quality of the vintage vis-à-vis 2012 — 3 years ago

This is great. I was expecting fire and jam, but got a lovely nose with purple plums, black pepper, a bit of jalapeño berry jam, baking spice, and good acidity. For the price, fantastic. For a funny label wine, maybe the best I’ve had. Would love to see this in a blind tasting. — 4 months ago

Super quaffable #pinotgris - apple, white peach aromas, weighty palate with lots of acidity, green apple, peach, goes down too easy. Great QPR for under $8 #costcowines — 8 months ago

Tonight I have opened the 2018 Acrobat Pinot Noir. King Estate Eugene, Oregon.

Onnthe nose there is cherry, strawberry, raspberry, spices, chocolate, vanilla and earth.

On the palate there is nice notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cola, herbs, spice, clove, forest floor and earth.

This wine is medium bodiedwith medium acidity and medium + fine tannins which moves seamlessly into a medium to long fruity earthy finish. Here it is Thursday evening moving into the weekend and this wine really sets the tone. A quality wine that at this price point is a wonderful QPR. Please lets start the weekend off with love and happiness and enjoy each others company. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago

Touring Oregon for the first time in a long while, and of course chasing value. This 25 Dollar Willamette Pinot is really nice. Found it based on local recommendation. Layers of cherry and other bright red fruits, good acidity. Long finish. Bandon is a really nice stop on the Oregon coast, too. — 5 months ago

Blackberry bramble, baked black cherry and plum, hints of maraschino, mint and menthol, bell pepper and geranium, cedar, tobacco, and bakers vanilla with whiffs of aged leather jacket on the nose. Blackberry, cherry, juicy raspberry, vanilla extract and weak black tea on the palate with a medium heavy body but a medium short finish. Overall a great wine for pumpkin pie brunch on Christmas morning (no it’s not too early). Merry Christmas! — 3 years ago
