Adelsheim Ribbon Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Chehalem Mountain , Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesPinot noir’s enticing contradictions are on show here. Typical of the Ribbon Ridge AVA, it’s very light bodied yet has a thin wire of flavour running through that emanates raspberry, strawberry, baking spice, hibiscus, cedar, and some florals. The texture is smooth and airy with an elegant, soft, and dangling finish. The vineyard sits at 120 to 200m elevation in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, a loaf-shaped, island-like ridge set apart from the surrounding Chehalem Valley in Oregon. During winemaking, most clusters were destemmed. It was aged in French oak barrels, 36% new, for 10 months before bottling. The clone involved is Pommard.Tasted: 27 February 2025Tasted by: Brent GushowatyPrices:BC | $74.99 | 750ml | private wine shop |
