2009 Kings Ridge Pinot Noir
88 Points, Editors' Choice - Wine Enthusiast
"A widely available, screwcapped wine,
totally fruit-driven, with forward and immediately
accessible bright cherry candy flavors. Though it settles
into a one-dimensional structure, the fruit carries it
along nicely, and it has much the same appeal as a good
Beaujolais-Villages. Editors' Choice. - P.G.

2009 Kings Ridge Pinot Noir
90 Points, Best Buy - Wine & Spirits
"Well Built, with scents of mocha and black cherry, there's an earthiness to the flavors-sort of a redwood bark meets plum-which gives the wine a savory kick. For something substantial, like salmon grilled with wild mushrooms."

2009 Kings Ridge Pinot Gris
Top Values List for 2010 - San Francisco Chronicle
"This brand is from Union Wine Co., which brought on winemaker Greg Bauer last year to manage the new winery. Kiwi, apple, slight tropical fruit and stone aroma's. A slightly round palate that hints at a bit of alcoholic heat; ending with more citrusy finish."

2009 Kings Ridge Oregon Riesling
89 Points, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
"Always one of the finest values in Oregon Riesling, the Kings Ridge really shines in 2009. Juicy and bursting with ripe pineapple, pear and peach fruit, this big, round, luscious wine masks its residual sugar with tangy acidity."

2007 Kings Ridge Pinot Noir
87 Points – Wine Enthusiast
"Kings Ridge is one of the handful of volume producers offering soundly made Oregon Pinot Noir below $20. This fine effort mixes spicy red fruits, suggestions of root beer and black cherry cola, and lightly herbal tannins, but does not load in the sweet vanilla flavors that are often used to makes off-flavors. Quite dry, balanced and clean, it’s a fine go-to everyday domestic Pinot." |

2007 Kings Ridge Pinot Gris
86 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"From a mix of vineyards in the Chehalem Mountains, this is a pleasant but simple wine with a mix of green apple and tart pear fruit flavors. It will benefit from chilling, which will bring out more of the peppery highlights and crisp acids" |

2007 Kings Ridge Riesling
90 Points and Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
#35, Top 100 Best Wine Buys of 2008
"This Spicy and aromatic Riesling is sourced from a vineyard planted 40 years ago by Dick Erath. Stainless-steel fermented and finished off-dry, it’s tart and juicy enough to work with most Riesling friendly foods. It’s the spice that dominates, not the sugar. This is a wonderful bottle, with classic Oregon scents that run from flower to fruit to stone. Concentrated yet delicate, it is an amazing value" |
