Adelsheim 2008 Bryan Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
How astonishing to find an Oregon Pinot Noir just under 13% alcohol that is fully ripe and fragrant with a perfect balance of fruit, herb and mineral. The young raspberry fruit flavors and overall lightness of this wine match beautifully with lox or smoked salmon. Despite its elegance, this strikes me as a wine that could turn out to be quite long-lived, given its…

Adelsheim 2009 Pinot Noir
- $32
Amazingly, Adelsheim has produced more than 14,000 cases of this wine, which equals the best, small-production Pinots of most Oregon producers. Fragrant and immediately compelling, it enters gracefully with soft red fruits, highlighted with spice, curry and chocolate. A pretty wine that is simply irresistible.

Adelsheim 2010 Boulder Bluff Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- $68
This well-defined, single-vineyard offering has bright, tight, and focused raspberry and cherry flavors in abundance. The sharp acidity and highlight of fresh herb speak to the distinctiveness of the vineyard. This wine will benefit from additional bottle age.

Adelsheim 2010 Calkins Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- Cellar Selection
- $68
This compensates for having less alchol than its previous vintage with added complexity. A mélange of cranberry, black cherry and bright spice, this feels full and round in the mouth, with excellent concentration. Details of spice and coffee linger through the palate and onto a cleansing finish.

Adelsheim 2010 Zenith Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- $90
The aroma sends up hints of Bourbon-soaked raisins, leading onto a soft, smooth, and very pretty palate. There’s plenty of raspberry flavor, and a suggestion of thick, dark balsamic vinegar on the finish. A dash of nutmeg, from 10 months in one-third new French oak, is the icing on the cake.

Adelsheim 1996 Stoller Vineyard Chardonnay (Yamhill County)
- $30
The winery planted several different Dijon clones a few years back, and decided to bottle them separately in 1999, hence the unwieldy name. This is a young, hard, assertive and distinctly Burgundian effort, ripe and well structured. There is firm, tart, lemony fruit nicely layered with French oak, and nuanced with hazelnuts through the long finish. —P.G.

Adelsheim 2008 Bryan Creek Vineyard Pinot Blanc (Chehalem Mountains)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
From estate vines planted in 1993, this deeply fruity wine has a flavorful blend of banana and other tropical fruits with citrus and citrus rind highlights. Full bodied, almost fleshy for a Pinot Blanc, its mouth-cleansing acidity leaves a fresh, lemony flavor on the tongue, ready for another sip or a bit of pasta, seafood or poultry.

Adelsheim 2009 Bryan Creek Vineyard Pinot Blanc (Chehalem Mountains)
- $22
Young, tart and vividly bright, this spicy wine brings Asian pear and cool citrus flavors to the forefront. It holds well through a lingering finish, with a crisp, piercing, phenolic grip reminiscent of grapefruit rind.
