The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

King Estate is best known for being Oregon's leading producer for Pinot Gris. But the winery portfolio has expanded to include a lineup covering almost every fine wine style made in our neighboring state. This tart and refreshing white wine is sourced from nine different vineyards; the blend includes 4% Semillon. It's stylish, fleshy and firm, with a deft mix of citrus rind, fresh verbena, crisp green apple and a hint of cucumber. There's a suggestion of residual sugar, just enough to cut the acids and balance it out. It's beautifully orchestrated and detailed, and sells at a discount to others of this quality.

4000 cases; 13.8%; $20 (Oregon)
