Adelsheim
Calkins Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir
Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Light reddish in color with light intensity.
Fresh berries on the nose with light cedar notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, chocolates, black pepper, herbs and light earth.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Pinot Noir from Chehalem Mountains in Oregon. Showing nice complexity already, but will get even better with more bottle time. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is spicy and nicely balanced, with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.
Feels like a Russian River Valley Pinot. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (35% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.
13% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$75.

Very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Red and black fruits on the nose with light oak and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn and herbs.
Nice finish with medium tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Chehalem Mountains in Oregon. Drinking very nicely now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing a good structure with sweet tannins, that add to the structure. Complex and engaging.
This 7 year old is still not drinking at its peak, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly, but already delicious.
Good right out of the bottle and a great sipping wine.

Dark baked fruits, strong spice and dark fading florals on the nose. Big tannin structure. Blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, spice, grainy big chalk, turned wet soil, more baking spice on this one vs the others. Big a acidity. Lean finish and it's short lived.

Dark fruits, smokey, and a bit of spice. Nice, but not my favorite Adelsheim.
