Gentil Alsace Sylvaner Blend 2023

9.0

This wine is so good for the $. And always is. The 2023 blend is: Gewürztraminer : 30%
Pinot gris : 24%
Riesling : 19%
Sylvaner : 18%
Pinot blanc : 6%
Muscat blanc à petits grains : 3% The sylvaner is only 18% so it’s interesting it’s identified as a sylvaner blend. Lively, aromatic nose. Peach, pear, quince, citrus on the palate. Lively acidity and great minerality. Every sip I pick up something different. And it’s under $20. Slightly off- dry. Value.

It’s a pizza wine. It’s posing in front of my ooni pizza oven- gen 1. Not very fancy or pretty like today’s models, but works great. Great fruit, some bitterness at the end, eminently quaffable. — 13 days ago

Fruit, blackberry, some spice and floral notes. Somebtanninscatbthebend, but quite enjoyable. Great with the Big East Tournament. My Friars are out, but UConn looks tough. — a month ago

Dark, intense, nose of blackberry and cedar cigar box. Fruity, big, bold wine, with some hearty but approachable tannins. Don’t often drink Nero D’avola, but I’ll get more of this. — 5 days ago

Oh is this a juicy, delicious drink. Blueberry, blackberry, and tart cranberry. Some smokiness adds a different dimension. Fairly light, alc at 13.7. Lot to like. Nice for the warming weather. Grilling some burgers with it. — 17 days ago

Lot of dark fruit: blackberries, blueberries, and a tinge of spice. Dark, the wine smells like it tastes. Good value. — a month ago

Seriously, has there ever been a disappointing red wine from Contra Costa? Every red vine there is over 100 years old on ungrafted roots in 20 feet of pure sand. What kind of jerk can fuck that up?
