Tasted Tuesday, September 8, 2009 by milwaukeewino with 455 views
An informal tasting with the owner of Adelsheim.
The presentation was great - Adelsheim is true wine royalty. At the same time he is down to earth and charming. He clearly believes in letting the grape and the land show with minimalist winemaking intervention.
A few things stood out about the wines - long, long finishes, great acidity, and a complex texture on the palate.
Wish some of the guests had shut the hell up (and silenced their cell phones) while Adelsheim was talking.
A beautiful tasting.
2007 Adelsheim Pinot Blanc
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Citrus notes; melon; mineral.
Fairly full mid palate considering the acidity. bright acid, lime zest, limeade. long finish. Tart, lemonhead candy. Bracing.
Rich texture on the palate.
