David Adelsheim Talks About Oregon Pinot grisAug. 20, 2010 The Tasting Panel Magazine interviewed David Adelsheim for their August 2010 feature on Pinot gris.

Oregon Pinot gris at Adelsheim Vineyard
David Adelsheim first planted Pinot gris at his Willamette Valley winery in 1976, making him the third-oldest producer of Pinot gris in the New World. "People used to ask us whether we made this varietal in the style of Alsace or in the style of Italy," says Adelsheim. "The answer finally became: 'Neither. It's made in an Oregon style.'"

Adelsheim loves to talk Pinot gris. "Suppose you have three glasses before you: a Pinot gris from Alsace, a Pinot grigio from Italy and a Pinot gris from Oregon," Adelsheim hypothesizes. "The Alsatian wine would be much more minerally, earthy and terroir-driven and much less about the fruit. The Italian Pinot grigio would have some fruit, but it would be muted; unless from one of the very top producers in Alto Adige or Collio, it would have a watery quality. The Oregon version would almost inevitably be dry; it would have wonderful acidity and freshness, quite intense fruit, substantive body, with no oak and no malolactic, and would have you screaming for shellfish.”

The style of the winery’s Pinot Gris has evolved, Adelsheim notes, “finding its soul” after the arrival of winemaker Dave Paige in 2001. “Dave had a very quick learning path to getting our Pinot Gris to be an archetype of this varietal
in Oregon.” The Adelsheim Vineyard 2008 Pinot Gris has an SRP of $19.

IWC Recommends the 09 RoseAug. 20, 2010 Josh Raynolds, writer for Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar publication, recommended the 2009 Adelsheim Rose on the Winophilia site.

Pinot noir is a great variety for producing pink wines as it tends to emphasize fresh fruit and is naturally high in acidity. From Oregon, the 2009 Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir Edition Rosé Dundee Hills ($20) delivers a complex array of red fruit and floral qualities, with a combination of bright acidity and surprising heft that makes it particularly well suited for richer foods. Also from Oregon, look for the 2009 Adelsheim Pinot Noir Rosé Willamette Valley ($19), which offers sweet red fruit flavors and refreshingly brisk acidity, with good punch as well.
