Wine Description

Crafted by the skilled hands of winemaker Jeremy Weintraub, the Adelaida Pinot Noir HMR Estate Vineyard 2020 is a testament to the unique terroir of the Paso Robles AVA. This exquisite wine, emerging from the Adelaida District’s organically-farmed estate vineyards, showcases the distinct characteristics bestowed by the Santa Lucia Mountain Range and its calcareous limestone soil.
In the glass, this adelaida pinot noir displays a mesmerizing medium ruby hue, inviting one into a world of complex aromas and flavors. The bouquet is an enchanting mix of potpourri and hibiscus, intertwined with the delicate scents of heart of rose and Darjeeling tea, capturing the essence of its Adelaida Paso Robles origin.
On the palate, the wine reveals a harmonious blend of black cherry and mulberry, seamlessly infused with subtle notes of clove and sandalwood. This adelaida pinot noir is a symphony of flavors, reflecting the meticulous aging process in French oak barriques, of which 35% were new, for 15 months. The influence of the oak is evident yet well-integrated, adding depth and complexity without overshadowing the vibrant fruit characters.
The Adelaida Pinot Noir HMR Estate Vineyard 2020 is not just a sensory delight but also a versatile companion to a range of culinary creations. It beautifully complements dishes like a fennel & leek tart or a rich, flavorful sausage & caramelized onion pizza, making it a perfect choice for an elegant dinner or a casual gathering.
Critically acclaimed, this wine has garnered admiration for its impeccable balance and structure. Awarded 92 points by Wine Advocate, it is praised for its chalky freshness and spicy, delicate fruits. Decanter, bestowing 95 points, highlights its forest botanicals, savory spice, and concentrated fruit, all brightened by juicy acidity and textured with velvet. Vinous, with 94 points, applauds its energy, purity, and the harmonious dance of raspberry and rose notes.
The 2020 vintage, produced in limited quantities with only 1679 cases, is a shining example of the winemaking prowess at Adelaida. The meticulous vineyard management, including hand-sorting and optical sorting of grapes, along with a 20% stem inclusion during fermentation, contributes to the wine’s layered complexity and textural finesse.
This adelaida paso robles pinot noir, sourced from the HMR Estate Vineyard perched at elevations between 1600 and 1735 feet, is a reflection of the land’s unique attributes. The extreme diurnal temperature swings and rare soil composition over limestone clay endow the wine with both elegance and a robust framework.
In conclusion, the Adelaida Pinot Noir HMR Estate Vineyard 2020 is a remarkable expression of its place and winemaker Jeremy Weintraub’s vision. It is a wine that not only captivates with its immediate charm but also promises to evolve beautifully, with a drinking window that extends through 2029. This adelaida pinot noir is more than just a wine; it is a journey through the heart of Paso Robles, capturing the soul of its terroir in every sip.

Critical Acclaim

WA 92

Wine Advocate

The 2020 Pinot Noir HMR Estate Vineyard was vinified with 20% whole clusters and matured for 15 months in 35% new French oak. It has a medium ruby color and scents of red cherries, cinnamon, charcuterie and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with delicate, spicy fruits lingering on the finish. Best After 2023.

DEC 95

Decanter

Forest botanicals like pungent new pine tips open on the nose of this pretty Pinot. Whiffs of savoury spice and black tea balance black cherry and earthy floral aromas. Lovely, concentrated black raspberry and cherry fruit on the palate are brightened by juicy acidity and flavoured with Asian spice and more black tea. There's weight and structure here—a limestone-grown, high-elevation wine—but its depth and length are textured with velvet.

VIN 94

Vinous

Dark and woodsy in the glass, the 2020 Pinot Noir HMR Estate Vineyard bursts up with an array of wild berries, savory herbs and a whiff of crushed stone. The HMR is built on energy and purity, with seamlessly silky textures flowing effortlessly across the palate. Its fruit is crisp and ripe yet perfectly balanced by zesty acidity. The 2020 finishes long and potent, with resonating raspberry and rose notes.
