Vintage Character Kings Ridge Pinot Gris 2023 comes from the broad Willamette Valley appellation in Oregon, a region whose long daylight hours, cool nights, and Pacific influence help Pinot Gris retain freshness while developing generous fruit. The 2023 vintage was shaped by a warm, generally favorable growing season that delivered both ripeness and lively acidity, making it an especially appealing value vintage for approachable, fruit-driven Oregon whites. Sourced from vineyards across the valley, the wine reflects the region’s mix of marine sedimentary, volcanic, and alluvial soils, which together support a style that is bright, clean, and lightly mineral.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this Pinot Gris offers fresh pear, Meyer lemon, white peach, and honeysuckle, with a subtle wet-stone note adding lift. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with crisp acidity, juicy orchard-fruit flavors, and a smooth touch of texture that carries into a clean, refreshing finish. Its straightforward purity makes it easy to enjoy at the table: try it with grilled shrimp, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, or sushi.
Winery Background Kings Ridge is part of Union Wine Company, founded in Oregon by Ryan Harms with the idea that well-made Oregon wine should be accessible and unpretentious. That philosophy is central to the brand: reliable fruit quality, a clear sense of place, and a style built for pleasure rather than ceremony. For this wine, the emphasis is on preserving freshness and varietal character, typically through cool fermentation in stainless steel and limited lees contact for texture rather than oak influence. The result is a polished, everyday Willamette Valley Pinot Gris that consistently overdelivers for the category.
