Winemaker Notes
This vintage of Willamette Valley conveys lovely notes of fresh raspberries and cinnamon stick on the nose, along with sneaky hints
of lavender and anise seed. This is positively vibrant on the palate, bursting with freshness. The texture is supple with smooth tannins leading into the finish.

This is a lithe, lighter-bodied Pinot Noir with aromas of ripe boysenberries, a cup of rich, black Indonesian coffee and earthy oregano. Tart red raspberries and icy lemon granita flavors give almost as many goosebumps as the wine’s positively rejuvenating acidity. This tiny dancer has some kick.

A deep ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is ripe and pure with ripe cherry, pressed roses, and cinnamon. Approachable and medium-bodied, with fine tannins, this elegant red has a clean lift and a refreshing feel.

Established in 1971, Adelsheim is a family-owned and operated winery with estate vineyards located in Oregon's northern Willamette Valley. Over the past 41 years, the Adelsheim Vineyard estate has grown to include twelve exception vineyard sites throughout the Valley, totaling 237 acres. Company co-founder, David Adelsheim, has done work throughout the years to benefit both the Oregon and American wine industries: grape and wine research, wine labeling, industry education, and promotion. He is recognized for his "outstanding service" to the industry and has played a vital role in building the Oregon wine industry and establishing its reputation worldwide. Today, he leads a current generation of passionate staff devoted to leading the industry in crafting consistently transcendent wines.
Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
