The King’s Ridge Pinot Gris is a bright, food-loving Oregon white that fits right in on our list here in West Seattle. It’s made by Union Wine Co., a Willamette Valley winery known for honest, well-made wines without the fuss. Fresh, crisp, and easy to love, this Pinot Gris is exactly the kind of unpretentious Pacific Northwest pour we built the Camp West wine list around.
About the Winery
Union Wine Co. is an Oregon winery rooted in the Willamette Valley with a refreshingly down-to-earth approach: make good wine, skip the pretense. The Kings Ridge label is their accessible, everyday line, sourced from Willamette Valley vineyards and crafted to be poured often and enjoyed widely. It’s a philosophy that lines up perfectly with how we do things at Camp West.
Region & Grape
This is Pinot Gris from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, a cool-climate region famous for aromatic, high-acid white wines. The fruit is hand-harvested and the wine is fermented slowly at cool temperatures, which helps preserve its fresh, fragrant character. A whisper of residual sugar keeps everything balanced and easy-drinking.
Tasting Notes
Expect a fragrant nose of green apple, white pear, and delicate floral and herb notes. On the palate it’s fresh and crisp with a medium body and a subtle herbal lift on the finish. It’s clean, lively, and versatile, the kind of white that disappears from the glass before you notice.
What to Pair It With
Pinot Gris is a fantastic seafood and vegetable partner. Try it with our Blackened Cod, the Golden Salmon Cakes, or the Peri Peri Cauliflower from the dine-in menu. The wine’s crisp acidity and orchard-fruit notes keep each bite fresh.
How We Pour It at Camp West
We offer the King’s Ridge Pinot Gris by the glass for $13 or by the bottle for $44, served well-chilled. It’s a reliable go-to whether you’re starting a meal or just settling in.
FAQ
Is Pinot Gris the same as Pinot Grigio?
They’re the same grape. “Pinot Gris” is the name Oregon producers typically use, often signaling a slightly rounder, more aromatic style than many Italian Pinot Grigios.
Is this wine sweet?
No. It’s essentially dry, with just a touch of residual sugar for balance, and finishes crisp and fresh.
