2018 Adams Reserve Adams Vineyard Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir
13.7% alc. (?14.3%), pH 3.59, TA 0.52, $55.
Produced and bottled by Trout Lily Ranch, Dallas, OR. 5-day
cold soak, indigenous yeast fermentation, and aged 18 months
in French oak barrels, 40% new. Bottled unfiltered.
·
Moderately
dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, Italian
spices, earthy flora and a floral lift. A flood of black cherry, black
plum and blackberry fruits greet the palate. This mid-weight plus
wine is both long in the mouth and finish. The fine-grain tannins
are slightly daunting but should ameliorate over time. A little
rustic in character and could benefit from more acidic verve, but
otherwise a solid wine.
Score: 91.
