King's North

King's North winery is situated in Oregon, specifically within the Horse Heaven Hills AVA at the southern tip of Columbia Valley. The winemaking philosophy revolves around bottling the vineyard, capturing the natural elements of each vintage, and showcasing the unique characteristics of Oregon's diverse regions, vineyards, varietals, and clones. The winery sources grapes from Alder Ridge Vineyard, which benefits from a balanced climate with warming effects from the Columbia River and cooling influences from high winds and nighttime temperature drops. This results in optimal ripening conditions while retaining fruit vibrancy. The tasting experience is available by appointment only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The winery's wines are characterized by distinct flavor profiles, such as the 2024 Grenache with its elegant, spicy, and red fruit notes, and the 2024 Syrah featuring bold, rich, and dark fruit flavors. The winemaking process involves deliberate techniques to achieve a balance of finesse and definition on the palate, including extended aging periods in barrel. Overall, King's North is focused on showcasing the grape as the focal point, with a commitment to quality and attention to detail evident throughout their wines.
