James Suckling
A beautiful pinot noir with aromas and flavors of ripe strawberries, cream and lemons. Medium body, fine tannins and a soft-textured finish. Fresh and focused.

Wine Spectator
Young, deeply structured and still a bit rough around the edges, this offers plenty of tart blueberry, pomegranate and spicy anise flavors to keep things moving and focused. Best from 2019 through 2023.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Breaking Ground Pinot Noir is pale to medium ruby-purple in color, opening with a lovely nose of warm red cherries, currants, nutmeg and cardamom plus notes of dried leaves, Earl Grey tea and floral perfume. Light to medium-bodied, it offers pure red fruit flavors with plenty of spice, a light framing of tannin and refreshing acidity, finishing long.

Wine & Spirits
Breaking Ground is Adelsheim’s Chehalem Mountain–focused line of wines. This pinot is lean and light, with scents of anise and a whiff of herbs on the red cherry fruit. It feels mouthwatering and direct, medium bodied and sinewy, with the tension and savor for quail.
