'03 Adelsheim Vineyards Oregon Pinot Noir

[wondersofwine]

Newsguy and Dananne,
I was able to try this at the Black Olive Restaurant in Baltimore with my lunch (appetizer portions of tzatziki and grilled mushrooms with a small Greek salad).
2003 Adelsheim Pinot Noir, Oregon
$12.00 for the glass (high)
Deep mahagony color. From organic grapes.
Viscous. Perfumed nose. Tasting of red fruits, raspberry mainly, and rose petals. Some weight on the finish, yet the impression that it is airy and elegant. I was aware of some wood influence but felt it was restrained enough to enhance the wine. Well made! I don't know if it's one to age, but it certainly is drinking well now. I may have just added Adelsheim to my list of wineries to visit in August prior to the offline (if they are open for tastings).
