Ledge

Mark Adams told me that he’s trying to spend as much time as possible these days in his family’s Adams Ranch vineyard, where he grew up “nailing down the details and basically bringing it further into life.” This fully exposed, steeply sloped, sandy site, which Adams first began planting in 2005, holds enormous promise, and Adams said that he intends to take full advantage of it “someday - it’s not like it can happen overnight.” Adams’ wines continue to go from strength to strength. He is the longtime assistant winemaker for and childhood friend of Saxum’s Justin Smith, from whom he gets much of his fruit, so a family resemblance in the wines is to be expected. As I’ve mentioned before, there is indeed a bloodline there, but the Ledge wines always come off, to me, as a bit more understated than those of Saxum with perhaps, a modicum more structure as well. These 2016s are no exception.
