Adelsheim Pinot noir Willamette Valley 07 750 ml
The Adelsheim Pinot noir Willamette Valley displays red fruit and dark cherry characters, both in the nose and on the palate. Wild cherry and juicy raspberry flavors intermingle with hints of spice. Pair this fruit-forward, satin-textured beauty with salmon or ahi, veal or pork, poultry (think duck) and hearty vegetarian entrees.

Wine Spectator's matt Kramer writes: "...If Adelsheim Vineyard has offered a better such bottling in its 35 years of existence, I cannot recall it."- the Oregonian 9/24/06
Kramer continues: "Adelsheim Vineyard "Willamette Valley" Pinot Noir 2005: The greatest effect of all the new pinot noir acreage in the Willamette Valley is a dramatic increase in the non-site-specific bottlings of Oregon pinot noirs. Simply (and bluntly) put, the best are equal or superior to many much more expensive, swinging-for-the-bleachers pinot noirs from single vineyards."
"As a result, producers such as Adelsheim Vineyards are issuing their finest "regular" pinot noirs ever. Given competition at this more economical end, their winemaking hand is necessarily restrained in using expensive new oak barrels. "
