King Estate Pinots often have an overt mocha tone in my experience. This one is nicely structured and balanced.

Bright red and black fruit, cinnamon, and sweet baking spices, with well integrated smoke and cedar. Backbone is the perfect name for this more structured, bold Oregon Pinot.

V11. Juicy berry bouquet. Fresh Blackberry fruit, and a slight mineral finish. Really nice!

"Pinot Lovers Pinot!" Grapes blended from 6 different vineyards to produce a full bodied, excellent wine... my opinion. Soft white pepper, cedar and smoke bouquet . Vibrant dark cherry and pomegranate , with a black/green peppercorn finish. If you don't like Oregon Pinots, you will appreciate this one!
Consumed at room temp.
