2015 Adelsheim Pinot Noir Breaking Ground

Very good Oregon Pinot Noir from one of the older Willamette Valley wineries. Medium ruby, good acidity, cherries, and spice in the initial flavors and a good mid-range and finish.

This is an outstanding Oregon Chardonnay, reminiscent of a premier Cru Meursault. Crisp acidity, lemons and citrus fruit, good mid-range, excellent mouthfeel, and finish of aged French white Burgundy that reminds me of toasted oats. Have drunk a half case of this wine and only wish I had more of them.

Served with grilled rib-eye steak. Have been through over a case of this wine over the past few years and it continues to be a very good, relatively inexpensive, Bordeaux with cassis and spice in the nose and initial flavors, modest tannins, and a good finish. Acidity is high enough to serve with grilled steak. All in all, a very good wine that should probably be drunk within the next 2-5 years.

I find that I generally like good wine and try to appreciate wines that represent their variety and source. In recent years, I have begun to focus more on Spanish wines, particularly those from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, Oregon Pinot Noirs, and of course Bordeaux. I think that wine has never been of such high quality as we see today and it is possible to drink well for $20-30 per bottle.
