The Crimson King Estate

TASTING NOTES:
Backbone - “The glistening straw yellow color is accented by a nose consisting of lemon, honey, and nectarine notes. Floral elements are present with violet and rose water components, accompanying fruit-forward flavors of pear, melon, and pineapple. The silky, supple entrance is followed by a mid-palate explosion of complex fruit flavor and gorgeous acidity, highlighting the overarching backbone of this beautiful Willamette Valley Pinot Gris.“

Unity - “Pale straw in color, the nose conjures a delightful medley of freshly cut pear, apples and orange blossom. On the palate flavors of tangerine, lime and pineapple are detected. After a round entrance, the wine displays great acid balance and ends in a lingering finish.”

Pfeiffer - “Tropical fruit and citrus notes of pineapple and orange zest greet the nose along with pear, wild honey and rose petal with an underpinning of minerality. Flavors expand to include melon, lime juice, damp slate and violets. The entrance is smooth and lively. The fresh fruit dances harmoniously with acidity across the palate, displaying an ample and juicy finish.”

BARRELS:
5-6 months sur lie in stainless steel.
