  1. Reddish in color with light intensity.

    Fruity nose of red fruits with light wood, spices and chocolate notes.

    Medium bodied with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, red plums, earth, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, peppercorn, light tobacco leaf and herbs.

    Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

    This 4 year old Pinot Noir from Oregon is earthy and pleasant.

    Easy drinking and nicely balanced. Soft and smooth. Complex and interesting.

    This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

    Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

    Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (33% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.

    13.5% alcohol by volume.

    90 points.

    $85.

    The Ribbon Ridge AVA produces such stunning wines! Adelsheim’s is lovely. We can’t source it in the US state where I live, so I envy you!

    First of all, that label is so great, it gets me every time.

    Secondly, I don’t know why we tolerate this type of abuse from Pinot Noir. There are way too many 90 point bottles that cost $60+.
