Adelaida has five organically-farmed vineyards in the coastal influenced Santa Lucia Mountain Range on the west side of the Paso Robles AVA. Situated on steep hillsides, these sites lie within the Adelaida District, a sub-appellation in the northwest corner of the wine region. With elevations ranging from 1400 - 2050 feet, limestone subsoils, and extreme diurnal temperature swings, averaging 45 degrees, Adelaida produces wines with distinct expressions of their site. Adelaida's high altitude Viking Vineyard yields wines with power and nuance.
JEB DUNNUCK 93+ POINTS - "Last of the reds, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Viking Estate Vineyard Adelaida District is also all varietal and spent 20 months in 70% new French oak before bottling. It offers more cassis and jammy blackberry as well as lots of toasted spice and chocolate notes, medium to full body, a ripe, rounded, mouthfilling texture, and ripe tannins. It's another beautiful wine that I suspect will benefit from another year or two in bottle and keep for over a decade in cold cellars."
