Still kicking after 17 years! Way to go Adelsheim - lovely to taste a gracefully aged WV Pinot.

Marasca cherries, balsamic and sweet earth. Just wonderful! Paired it with some wild porcinis I found yesterday and it was perfect

On the nose red roses and mixed wild berries. Lean ripe mixed mid dark and light berries, cranberries, light spice, vanilla, grainy soft minerals, powdery chalkiness, bright acidity and good finish. Not outstanding but tasty, somewhat simple and easy to drink.

Restrained, layered, depth. Wait a few years.

Cherry, raspberry, cola, and a hint of cinnamon. Was a bit tart when I popped the cork, but settled down beautifully after an hour in the decanter. Very fresh and a satisfying finish.

A bit too tannic and a bit past peak, I’m afraid. Dark currants and cranberries. Paired well with meat loaf, but I would not hold this much longer.

Dry, Light bodied red I am always looking for!!! Hard candy. Bright ripe red fruit. Wonderfully textured. Bright acidity. Ripeness really comes through on the mid palate. Off-dry

A pretty decent Oregon Pinot. Bright cherries, some herbs and slight leather almost. A nice complex finish. Still a typical lighter OR Pinot so not my favorite but still very nice.

2013 vintage; musty earthy nose; smooth black cherry front; light tannins to finish. Very good.
