Rich purple in color with a nose full of sage and mountain herbs, this mouthwatering wine has fruity notes of blackberry and raspberry that introduce a muscular structure with earthy notes. A highly focused wine, delectable and powerful, composed of succulent fruit, aromatic spice and marvelous piquancy. Pairs well with chocolate desserts!

Rad Spätburgunder from the Pfalz; Koehler-Ruprecht never steers me wrong. Bracing and a bit rustic yet still elegant. Pours a medium (-) ruby garnet hue. Benefits from a tiny bit of air before serving but not like, necessary to decant it either. Wild raspberries and strawberries, blood orange peel, fennel seed, woodsy spice and birch bark, mushroomy, forest floor earthiness, and some floral rosehip character on the nose. The palate has more bracing, alpine red berry fruit, woodsy spice, rose floral character, and forest floor, supported by lively, medium (+) to high acid, and medium (-) tannin. Light to medium (-) body. Solid stuff. In a nice place right now, maybe would peak in a couple years but no compelling reason to hold on to it much either. — 9 years ago

The Syrah in this 60 Cab - 40 Syrah blend brings forward that nice Santa Ynez fruit. I enjoyed this bottle unaccompanied by any food (man, that fruit again!) but I can see it working magically with pairings. Tri-tip anyone? — 9 years ago
Stone soup...if the stones were schist...and the cook seasoned it with tart strawberries and watermelon rind. 👌🏼Nice job chef! @Dominik Sona — 9 years ago
Juicy pears, petrol and wet slate all up in my hizzie. Another great pair for my wife's ham loaf, with fruit and off-dry sweetness to play against the salty porkaliciousness. This should keep getting better with age too, but drinking extremely well now! — 10 years ago
