Adelsheim 2007 Boulder Bluff Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Cellar Selection
- $58
This is the first vineyard-designation for the vineyard, and it’s easy to see why it was done. The wine has pinpoint focus, bright fruit, natural layering of spice, fruit and herb, with a punchy, briny spine that seems to gather force and go on forever. If a wine can ever be salty, this is the wine.

Adelsheim 2009 Nicholas Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $90
The best of a great flight of single-vineyard 2009 Pinots from Adelsheim, this new entry into the lineup is all muscle and black fruits. It is power-packed with dense, rich flavors, nuanced with exotic spices and black tea, moving into silky tannins and an extremely long, satisfying finish.

Adelsheim 2008 Quarter Mile Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- $90
Sadly, just 44 cases were produced, from Block 1 of the original estate vineyard. Rhubarb, cherry, cinnamon and suggestions of light tropical fruits are delicately entwined here. It would be easy to skip over the wine’s complexity; you must let it breathe open and it will reward you with fascinating, subtle layers that slowly unravel.

Bergström 2009 de Lancellotti Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Cellar Selection
- $63
A concentrated core of pure, sweet raspberry and cherry fruit is showcased in a wine of remarkable penetration and length. The fruit, from a biodynamic estate vineyard, is perfumed and open, making this immediately accessible and supremely enjoyable. And yet cellaring will surely reward those with the patience and discipline to lay it down for up to a decade.

Adelsheim 2008 Boulder Bluff Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Editors' Choice
- $68
Quickly becoming one of Adelsheim’s most important vineyard designates, this beautifully balanced wine opens with pungent, primary fruits, a jumble of berries and cherries in the nose and mouth. It lengthens into raspberry compote complexity, limned with dark chocolate and highlighted with peppery greens.

A smooth and complex wine, beautifully balanced and bursting with plum and black fruit flavors. This wine has it all—notes of anise and cola, a layer of sweet earth, and plenty of muscle for the long term.

Hawks View 2009 Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $35
In 2009 this estate-grown Pinot Noir appears to have been pushed to the limit, with alcohol at 15% behind concentrated, cherry cordial-flavored fruit. Nonetheless it seems in perfect balance, with excellent focus and a genuine sense of terroir. Sassafras and cola add complexity to a lingering, concentrated finish.

Rex Hill 2008 Jacob Hart Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $65
This is the most complex and detailed of the current single-vineyard Pinots from Rex Hill. English Breakfast tea, cherry liqueur, moist loam, dried leaf and highlights of cinnamon apple pie all contribute to a feminine, elegant, well-crafted wine.
