2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

2009 Wine Enthusiast - 91 points - As bright and fruity as a Beaujolais, this youthful pinot leads with scents of raspberries and red cherries and a woodsy bottom note. The flavors are light and fresh, the fruit giving way to a mild amaro-like bitterness. A great pinot to stock up on. - Paul Gregutt

Acrobat is King Estate's affordable second label.

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

"Winemaker Jeff Kandarian and his team turn around this entry-level, screwcapped Pinot Noir with amazing speed while still giving it time for six months in various ages of French oak. Raspberry, Bing cherry, strawberry, vanilla and cedar aromas come alive on the palate with sweet plums, delicate tannins and acidity to back it up. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine." - Wine Press Northwest

2008 Wine Spectator - 89 points - This tangy red offers bright berry and spice flavors that sail through the vibrant frame. Finishes on a candied apple note. Drink now through 2012. 4,500 cases made. - HS

Sweet cherry, hints of caramel, hints of blue fruit, and pepper spice, the wine has an elegant entry, smooth tannins on the finish, nicely structured with good acidity.
