<div><font face="Georgia">"This, our first, single vineyard bottling from Boulder Bluff Vineyard displays dark fruit characteristics - black cherry, boysenberry, and black raspberry - along with earthy notes of cocoa, cedar, and spice. The wine strikes a nice balance with firmness of texture and a rich mouthfeel. Try it paired with grilled salmon or meats, domestic and wild fowl, or hearty vegetarian entrees."

<ul type="disc">
<li><font face="Georgia">Lynn and Jack Loacker, co-owners of Adelsheim Vineyard, purchased this 9.91-acre vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains in 2000. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">The Pinot noir clones that make up this bottling are "heirloom clones" - one called AS 2, which was brought from Burgundy by the late Gary Andrus, and an­other of unclear origin that was planted at Adelsheim's original vineyard, Quarter Mile Lane, in 1974. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">This 2007 vintage Boulder Bluff wine is our first single vineyard wine from this property. </font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Georgia"><strong>Growing Season</strong> </font></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font face="Georgia">Bud break occurred during the third week of March, and bloom during the second week of June, both normal times in the north Willamette Valley for these events. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">Harvest began in mid-September with two weeks of perfect weather and ideal picking conditions. This was followed by a short period of rain. We met these challenges by taking extra precautions in both picking and sorting to insure only the very best fruit made it into the fermenters. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">The first Pinot noir grapes were picked in the third week of September and everything was in the door at the winery by the second week of October. </font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Georgia"><strong>Vineyard </strong> </font></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font face="Georgia">Boulder Bluff Vineyard is adjacent to our oldest vineyard, Quarter Mile Lane, in the Chehalem Mountains appellation. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">This vineyard is sited between 600 and 700 feet above sea level on a steep southwest slope. It is a very warm site due to its orientation and the many basalt boulders on the property which hold the heat. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">The soils are basaltic-origin, clay-loam soils, which store enough moisture to get the grapevines through our annual summer droughts with irrigation. </font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Georgia"><strong>Winemaking </strong> </font></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font face="Georgia">All grapes used to produce this wine were harvested by hand. The grapes were gently destemmed into open top fermenters, followed by a four to six day cold soak for greater flavor and color extraction. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">The grapes were then inoculated with a commercial yeast and punched down two or three times per day. </font></li>
<li><font face="Georgia">After pressing, the wine was transferred into traditional small French oak barrels (33% new) where it was aged for approximately 10 months. It was blended toward the end of summer and bottled on August 18, 2008. </font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Georgia">Composition: 100% Pinot noir from two "heirloom clones" </font></div>
<div><font face="Georgia">Alcohol: 13.1% Production: 240 cases (750 ml) and 15 cases 1.5L </font></div>
<div><font face="Georgia">Cellaring: While our 2007 Boulder Bluff Vineyard Pinot noir is ready to enjoy today, it will develop and gain complexity for years to come. </font></div>
<div><font face="Georgia"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Georgia">Shipping on large formats is only $5.00 per bottle!</font></div>
