Such a great food wine. Vibrant acidity, full of energy! Lifted floral (roses and violets) aromatics and a palate full of sour cherry, kola, earth/black tea and hints of mocha and coffee on the finish. Plenty of structure to develop complexity and mature for many years.

This is really lovely wine, with nice acidic balance and good depth of flavor. A big step up from the regular Adelsheim Pinot, which to me was too candied in 2012.

Only the best barrels from the best lots...and it tasted like it. Spiced cherry & ripe raspberry flavors with a beautiful cocoa finish. Incredible clarity
