It’s only shy of 10 because I do want it to be a tad more sharp. However, what a great find and alternative to Riesling. It skews on a honeydew sweetness note. Perfectly refreshing for a hot summer day. — 5 years ago

A true kabinett? Check. Under 10% alcohol? Check, 8%. A deal? Check, Under 15$. Female vintner, check. A simple wine to drink while playing Rummikub with the family during a pandemic? Check. — 6 years ago

So, I’m of the opinion that Gerhard Reisacher’s sweet spot is Cabernet Franc. This 2009 isn’t quite as good as his 2007 - that is the best 100% cab franc I’ve ever had - but this is damn close. No trace of the bell pepper you typically get from people picking the fruit too early, this is a terrific wine with notes of something reminiscent of roasted chipotle pepper, black pepper, and currant. Medium-to-full bodied palate with a silky, mouthfilling feel leading to a lingering finish. This is nothing like a cab franc from The Loire - pure California - but a terrific wine nonetheless. Winemakers would do well to take lessons from Gerhart on how to handle this varietal. — 5 years ago

Dried, stewy fruit tart. Not the best, but even middling sidewinder is still special. — 6 years ago

Very inviting nose with ripe prunes and blackberries, a touch of cassis and a hint of spices with cedar wood, pepper & cinnamon. On the palate quite sleek & cool with fine, filigrane structure. Polished tannins, juicy acidity, a sense of authenticity concreted by the tart plum fruit and earthy undertones. This is a delicious blend (Zw, Bf, Me) and excellent value for money. — 6 years ago

A fine happy hour pick. This had tannic grip. Not a pushover, and benefited from food. Second day it had alcohol dominance. — 5 years ago

Smells like strawberries, raspberries, lemons and a touch of smoke. Great acidity, minerality and mouth feel. Taste similar to nose. Super fresh and gorgeous color too. — 7 years ago

Austrian Pinot Noir coming a long way. Lush red fruit supported by good acid. Plush, and you might not think it was Austrian if tasted blind. There is some oak there, needs time to open. — 8 years ago
