Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2018

Smell of ripened sweet plums in an orchard where a strong aromatic herbs are grown along the edge.

Dense and lovely - this wine shows bright, rich fruits, raspberry pie, unsweetened blackberry jam, hints of Provençal herbs with a lip smacking tanginess, and elderberry acidity.

Give me a Skurnik find any day.
Delicious !

I Stefanini

Il Selese Soave Garganega

Soave often gets a bad reputation but this one is pretty good. The label says elderberry and hawthorn notes. I guess that is the slightly pungent, green nose and taste. It does have some more peach like fruit notes but quite subtle. Dry but not bland or acidic, the texture is quite lush for a light wine. Certainly quite enjoyable and a welcome change of pace for the price range. — 6 years ago

Domaine des Vercheres

Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2015

I will be forever grateful to the good people of Macon's main hospital, for taking in my Joe when he was pilgrimaging in France, and collapsed from what turned out to be a diabetic coma. Their good hearts are reflected in this marvelous white Burgundy-- balanced, dry, with hints of peaches, elderberry and love. Bought at tableWINE. — 6 years ago

Fonseca

Late Bottled Vintage Unfiltered Porto Port Blend 2014

Black currant, elderberry, and cedar on the nose. Thick, spicy cherry chocolate. Perfectly balanced and dry for an LBV. Very chewy and grippy — making this wine a real treat. — 4 years ago

Cent Visages Touraine Côt

2016 vintage. Stemmy, fragrant, floral, much lighter than Cahors or any Argentine example. Candied violet, crabapple, blackberry, elderberry, incense, anise, tarragon, Thai basil. Really fun, especially with a little chill. — 5 years ago

Sounds good

Honeyrun

Elderberry

Spice notes on the nose, off-dry, medium acidity, good berry flavor, spiced honey notes, medium+ finish. Flavor profile would be along the lines of a lower alcohol and lower sugar Port. 12% abv, no sulfites added, and Kosher. Good on its own and with food. — 6 years ago

Sonoma County Cabernet Franc Blend 2012

Coca Cola after 1h. 60% Cab Franc! A ton of Brett which goes away then Boysenberry oak and shear awesomeness. Elderberry cherry 🍒 perhaps some Raspberry. Easily as good as many french wines aka Bordeaux. — 7 years ago

Mineralschiefer Trocken Riesling 2013

Peachy nose. Very nice complexity for a really inexpensive bottle therefore highly rated. Quince and a tad of bitterness - Elderberry! Good acidity starting to develop the old Riesling character some people deceive as fresh cut garden hose - long - a steal 💥. — 8 years ago

Heinz Eifel

Beerenauslese Riesling

Tangerine honey, grapefruit sugar, with peonies, the most perfect, spun cotton candy, chamomile, pear and apple and almond and hazelnut, chutney, and toast with a nano marmalade containing frozen peaches. The exquisite peach blossom honey, chamomile, sultanas, elderberry, gooseberry, quince, dried starfruit and lime. Incredibly layered in folds of dried and concentrated richness. #riesling #deutschewein #wein #beerenauslese #dessertwine #botrytis — 4 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Spätburgunder Rosé 2017

I know Lyle Fass the importer will roast me at the stake for popping this so soon. A little darker than in the past. Classic E&M - the consistency from year to year is just ridiculous. Mountain meadows with thyme and gentian on the nose. In the glass elderberry , orange 🍊 zest, hint of tart underripe strawberry - lovely acidity. Needs to settle down. This is once again!!! the best Rose money can buy right now. How this winery does this beats me. Unfortunately not widely available if at all outside of the FASS email list. — 5 years ago

Weingut Bernhard Huber

R Schlossberg Großes Gewächs Spätburgunder 2010

Burgundian Grand Cru from Germany decant 24h’s. Made by the late Bernhard Huber who died unfortunately of cancer much too early. Dark and big 🍷. Almost too highly extracted for my taste. Cassis, bark, mushrooms 🍄, dark berries - blackberry/elderberry blend! Direct from the Winery not available in the USA 😳. Very highly recommended! Visit the winery if you can it’s close to Freiburg in Baden the son is now running the show. — 7 years ago
