The 2021 King Estate Inscription Pinot Noir opens with classic and pleasing Pinot Noir aroma of black cherry, strawberry, a little earthiness and some cola and rhubarb.

Taking a sip reveals this to be quite tasty with a smooth mouthfeel and good balance. Featuring similar flavors to the nose with good fruit and a little earthiness underneath, this light to medium-bodied wine also has touches of orange peel and pomegranate in the mouth.

It ends dry and with good length and was similar on day 2. This is genuine Willamette Valley Pinot at a great price.
