McCollum was designed in partnership with Oregon’s Adelsheim Winery when it launched in 2018. 4 years later the mission continues to be going sturdy, although this craft pinot noir now additionally incorporates fruit from the McCollum household’s personal 318-acre property within the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. As this wine evolves, let’s see how issues are progressing.
Give this wine a few minutes in glass for its darker, huskier parts to mood — there’s a ton of fruit and spice, however it all lingers beneath the floor. With endurance, this wine exudes notes of black cherry and plum, with brighter notes of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and a few strawberry giving this a surprisingly fruity kick. Recent ginger and a pinch of anise linger on the end.
The label could lack finesse. The wine inside has no such problem.
