2023 King Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

2023 King Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir – Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA – 13.5% ABV Produced from a blend of King Estate’s certified Biodynamic® estate vineyards alongside select partner sites across the Willamette Valley, this wine reflects the region’s cool-climate precision and long growing season. Fruit is cold-soaked prior to fermentation, with partial whole-cluster inclusion to build aromatic complexity and fine tannin structure. A small saignée bleed concentrates color and phenolics, followed by fermentation in open-top stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak for approximately 10 months. The 2023 vintage shows layered black cherry, plum, violet, and forest floor, supported by bright acidity and velvety tannins—hallmarks of Oregon Pinot Noir shaped by marine sedimentary and volcanic soils.
