Pearson's Notes

With its broad array of origins and clones, this wine displays red aromas (candied cherry, pomegranate and raspberry), on the nose and the palate. In addition, one finds a light touch of brown spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice). True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polished tannins. Pair it with salmon or ahi, veal or pork, poultry (think duck) or beef, or hearty vegetarian entrees.

Wine Enthusiast - 91 points

Amazingly, Adelsheim has produced more than 14,000 cases of this wine, which equals the best small-production Pinots of most Oregon producers. Fragrant and immediately compelling, it enters gracefully with soft red fruits, highlighted with spice, curry and chocolate. A pretty wine that is simply irresistible.
