Adelsheim Vineyard Description
Grapes for this wine come from 8 select hillside sites within the Chehalem Mountains AVA, 77% of which are estate. These vineyards showcase the complexity of this AVA, covering a diversity of clones and rootstocks, and are planted on all three major soil types found in this region: 27% loess, 26% sedimentary, and 47% volcanic.
Tasting Note: Sleek and elegant, redolent of hibiscus tea, fresh cherry, cinnamon bark, and nutmeg. These aromas are echoed on the palate and framed by finessed, fine-grained tannins.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2021 Pinot Noir Breaking Ground opens with a candied display of licorice and medical cherries complicated by violet florals. It's round and soothing, with ripe red and a hint of blue fruits coasting across a steely mineral core. The 2021 leaves the palate staining in primary concentration and fine-grained tannins, slowly tapering off with a dark floral air.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
In addition to 77% estate fruit, the 2021 Breaking Ground Pinot Noir includes fruit from a couple other long-term grower arrangements. It was matured for 10 months in 30% new French oak and bottled under screw cap. It has open-knit, inviting aromas of cranberry sauce, rhubarb pie and strawberry jam, plus nuances of dried herbs and blood orange. The medium-bodied palate is silky and refreshing with concentrated flavors and a long, spicy finish.
