King Estate Pinot Noir Inscription Willamette Valley 2022

King Estate is an Oregon staple and has been a major player in the Willamette Valley since the early 1990s. Today, it is home to the largest biodynamic vineyard in North America, and the wines being made off this are some of the highest Pinot Noir quality anywhere.

When they were first starting out, Ed King, Jr. took a gamble by deciding to be so far down the valley. Places like Erath, Sokol Blosser, Ponzi and Arteberry Maresh were turning heads further north in the Willamette, and besides Amity Vineyards, not much was planted in the south near Eugene.

But Ed’s vision never wavered and he ultimately turned a 600-acre cattle ranch with just 16 planted acres into what would become hundreds and hundreds of rolling vineyards of King Estate.

Fast forward to present day and King Estate is one of Oregon’s biggest and best wineries. With so many planted acres, and unwavering dedication to the land, there’s a lot of possibilities for the winery that aren’t there for their neighbors. ‘Inscription’ is the perfect example.
