2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

During David Paige’s tenure as winemaker at Adelsheim, the winery started picking earlier and at lower Brix levels, resulting in wines of exceptional delicacy and longevity. His own wines are slightly more saturated. This Pinot Noir offers sour-plum and red-cherry flavors that feel concentrated and dense, but the sapid mix of fine tannin and lively acidity gives this wine its taut energy. - Patrick J. Comiskey.
