Appearance: Glossy magenta and clear at the rim, medium-light body

Nose: Getting very little in the way of aromatics but baking spices and earthiness

Taste: On open there was some bitterness that faded about 2 hours open in bottle to enhance some of the violet, blue fruit notes and some crunchy tannins; similar structure I taste in some lighter Beaujolais, which I like.

Overall very enjoyable wine that will probably improve with a couple more years, but would favor a few other options in the same or lower price range ($28 here) -

A good wine but a bit hard at the end- tannic & acidic but softer in the mouth at the start. Lighter red fruit like raspberries & blackberries plus some plum.

This is Adelsheim pinot Noir 2014 from Willamette Valley Oregon. NOW Were talking! Get a clue Lange crew. Night and day difference! Cherry pie bouquet. Cherries of coarse dominate the fruit along with a pinot grape juice beginning. I can actually taste the flavor of the grape before it was fermented. The mid palate brings on the pepper and spice. There is a hint of vanilla and oak. The the dry finish brings it home with a succulent after taste of raspberry and cherries. I love this wine!!!!!! Buy, buy, buy!!!!!

Light body, nice fruit, drinking well. Think a couple years aging will get much better

Debated between this bottle and four graves Pinot Noir. Ended up getting Adelsheim. Smooth, pleasant and with a long finish. It got better as the night went along :-)
