Strangenberg Pinot Noir 2020

Floral, red fruits, still a bit structured and tannic, lovely balance, long, lingering finish, needs further cellaring, should work great with grilled wild Puget Sound salmon!! — 9 months ago

Sainte Agathe Syrah 2020

9.3

Basket of fresh black and red fruits, smoky notes, roasted, charcoal, pepper, violet. The nose suggests a little residual sugar, except it will turn out to be very dry in the mouth. Supple and beautiful creaminess, the texture in the mouth is beautiful. Côte-Rôtie style. Superb for its price.

Panier de fruits frais noirs et rouges, notes fumées, rôties, charbon, poivre, violette. Le nez suggère un peu de sucre résiduel, hors il se révélera très sec en bouche. Souplesse et belle onctuosité, la texture en bouche est magnifique. De la puissance totalement enrobée. Une Cote Rôtie masquée, sous le nom Vin de France. Superbe pour son prix! — 3 years ago

Classic petrol/diesel Riesling aromas, youthful, super fresh young Riesling (I clearly opened this about 10 years too early — LOL), really dry Riesling, complex, balanced, needs significant aging!! — 6 years ago

Sainte Agathe Tressallier 2023

David Valenti

9.1

Tressailler aka Sacy is a vine which was praised 3 or 4 centuries ago, given the ability of the wine to travel long distances (not becoming vinegar on the way) thanks to its natural level of acidity. Acidity is kept under control for this one, with all its character and flavours blending into a perfect balance. — a year ago

Spice, floral, lychee, this vintage has taken on some weight since last I tried it 20 months ago, medium-long finish, this goes very well with the stir fry my wife served tonight!! — a year ago

@Doug Powers probably a silly question, how’s does one DM on Delectable?

Doug Powers

@Ira Schwartz, I realized last night that there is no DM functionality, sorry @Tom Casagrande about that.

@Doug Powers wish they had that feature

Eminence Sylvaner 2021

Doug Powers

9.2

Just a lovely, complex Sylvaner, great acidity, some nice slight honeyed notes to the layered fruit, even though this cannot have Grand Cru on the label because the grape is Sylvaner, the juice is from fruit grown on Zinnkoepfle, a Grand Cru vineyard that Agathe farms. — a year ago

Very cool!

Tom Casagrande

Sylvaner is one of the few “second tier” varieties that sometimes gives me a thrill. (I’ve yet to taste an Aligote that had that effect on me, for instance.)

Doug Powers

@Tom Casagrande, she makes another Sylvaner from another Alsatian vineyard that is quite good, but not at this level. I have read that she loves Sylvaner, having grown up eating berries while helping her grandparents tend the Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru vineyard!!
