Pluris Smaragd Grauburgunder 2012

(Tasted November 2019)
Not your uncle’s Pinot Grigio. Full bodied and luscious with ripe orchard fruit, minerals, and enough structure to keep evolving in the cellar. This was a fun left field bottle to share with wine geeks at thanksgiving. $40

More info: 25 year old vines in heavy clay soil. Pluris vineyard is steep with only one row of vines per terrace for maximum exposure.

Schilcher No. 26 Blauer Wildbacher Rosé 2015

Strawberries, blood orange rind, watermelon, satsuma mandarins, iron, smoke. Snapping acidity, light bodied, juicy texture, tangy-salty-slightly off dry yet crisp finish. Highly aromatic, at times savory, at times smoky, fruit persists through. Unique, interesting and uncommonly delicious. — 7 years ago

Hochheimer Kirchenstück Spätlese Riesling 2002

Unreal fruit and depth. Color and residues sugar indicate to me this was likely a declassified auslese. The fruit and minerality went on and on. I fully expect this wine will go another ten to fifteen years at least. — 8 years ago
