Adelsheim Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2017
With its broad array of origins and clones, this Pinot noir displays aromas of cocoa, pomegranate, and raspberry on the nose and the palate as well as a light touch of nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polished tannins.
91 Points - Wine Spectator Polished and elegantly complex, with pretty rose petal, raspberry and spiced tea flavors that glide on the long finish. Drink now through 2024.
91 Points - James Suckling A brambly array of vibrantly ripe red-cherry aromas here with a lithe, fresh and juicy palate that offers a gently spicy and toasty finish with plenty of fresh-fruit kick. Drink now.
91 Points - Wilfred Wong of Wine Adelsheim Vineyard is one of Oregon's most consistent producers of high-quality Pinot Noirs. The 2017 vintage continues the streak. This wine is bright and appealing. Enjoy is aromas of ripe berries and dried earth with grilled lamb.
90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir gives up aromas of fresh cranberries, sliced blueberries, crushed peppercorn, woodsmoke, Bing cherries and underbrush. The palate is light to medium-bodied and earthy in profile with a gentle frame of fuzzy tannins and great freshness, finishing long.
