Adelsheim 2007 Winderlea Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $75
This vineyard is a magical site, one of the greatest Oregon Pinot vineyards. The wine has the majestic plumpness of grand cru Burgundy, with potent cherry fruit, laced with sweet spices, that seems to expand through a generous midpalate and keep on keeping on as long as you are paying attention.

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.

Adelsheim 2007 Stoller Vineyards Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $58
In some bottles, in some vintages, Oregon Chardonnays do become quite Burgundian in style, in all the best ways. This very limited (36 case) offering is one such; it is steely, structured, a bit stiff even, but laced with impressive minerality, and the tightly etched fruit flavors reminiscent of Chablis.

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.

Adelsheim 2008 Zenith Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $90
Though Adelsheim offers a large assortment of single-vineyard Pinots, this is the first they’ve made from Zenith. It surely won’t be the last. Concentrated, thick black raspberry and black cherry fruit centers a substantial wine, laced with vivid streaks of vanilla, tobacco and spice. The immediate impact of the fruit is amplified by the density on the palate, and…

Adelsheim 2009 Boulder Bluff Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

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.
