Adelsheim Pinot Noir 2019
This premium pinot noir displays bright aromas of pomegranate and raspberry on the nose and the palate as well as a light touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated with silky, textural tannins. Ninety-four percent of the grapes used in this wine were sourced from 10 of Adelsheims estate vineyards: 53% from the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), 16% from Yamhill Carlton, 22% from the Eola-Amity Hills,and 3% from the Dundee Hills. The remaining 6% was derived from non-estate vineyards throughout the Willamette Valley. After hand-harvesting, the grapes were gently de-stemmed into open-top fermenters, followed by a four to six day cold soak for greater flavour and colour extraction. The grapes were then inoculated with a commercial yeast and punched down two or three times per day during their 7 day fermentation. After pressing, the wine was transferred into traditional small French oak barrels (20% new) where it was aged for approximately 10 months.
Côtes De Nuits-Villages, Aux Montagnes, Pierre Meurgey 2021
Pierre Meurgey is a fourth generation winemaker now bottling some incredibly wines under his own name and is only now being discovered (his recent 2020s were very well regarded by Jasper Morris). Sourced from the single vineyard Aux Montagnes, this Villages is silky and balanced, with vibrant acidity and fine tannins. The palate delivers fresh red fruit flavours, complemented by subtle notes of clove and underbrush. The wine’s mineral backbone and delicate structure lead to a long, graceful finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom-based dishes like risotto or wild mushroom tart. It will also make an excellent partner for charcuterie or soft-ripened cheeses.
