Here is the dazzling 2012 ‘Domaine’ Pinot Gris by King Estate.

Cellar Selection: 2012 King Estate 'Domaine' Pinot Gris

October 9, 2024

I have long had an affinity for great Oregon Pinot Gris. My love for this grape began more than twenty years ago, tasting the great wines of the Alsace and then also beautiful Oregon editions of this varietal. Great Gris will age well for decades and King Estate is a stalwart producer of this varietal — the largest producer in North America. Their entry level bottling is consistently good and their ‘Domaine’ Pinot Gris is amongst the finest you will taste in Oregon. Visiting the estate in August I had the chance to check in with their stunning 2012 ‘Domaine’ Pinot Gris.

2012 was a beautiful growing season after the more than challenging 2011 vintage. Ripening was rather slow in 2012 but this moderate year made beautifully astringent whites and reds that have been exceedingly age worthy. Learn more about these great Pinot Gris wines at kingestate.com and here is my review of the beautiful 2012 ‘Domaine’ Pinot Gris.

2012 King Estate ‘Domaine’ Pinot Gris- Uncorked after being purchased at the winery, the 2012 King Estate ‘Domaine’ Pinot Gris is a magical wine that shows the incredible aging potential of top-class Pinot Gris. Kiwi, cantaloupe and macadamia nut flavors combine with wonderful viscosity and underlying verve on the palate. This still has life ahead of it! Drink 2024-2030- 94
