IF YOU SEE KAY HAS LAUNCHED RED
BLEND AND ROSÉ 375ML CANS
If You See Kay is a wine with the personality to
match its label. Kay is a no holds barred wine from
the anti-Napa wine country of the Central Coast of
California. From the northern region of Paso, warm,
dry days throughout the summer make it ideal for
growing big, bold reds while the cooler southern
region south of San Luis Obispo creates refreshing
and bright rosés for that perfect summer pour.

INTRODUCING 2018 KING ESTATE OREGON
SAUVIGNON BLANC
There are very few Sauvignon Blanc vines planted in
Oregon, and little has been said about an Oregon-style
Sauvignon Blanc. King Estate’s inaugural release of 2,500
cases tends toward the fresh citrus, wet stone and white peach
flavor profile. The 2018 vintage was one of the best Oregon
grape harvests in the last 20 years – thanks to a great growing
season followed by a warm, dry fall. Fermented in stainless
steel and concrete at slightly warmer temperatures to drive
mineral style, this wine received weekly batonnage to build
richness. We are looking forward to pioneering this new
chapter in Oregon’s story.
