Alsace Grand Cru Eichberg Riesling 2017

Nice starter Riesling for people who don’t like Riesling. Needed either more acid or more minerality to balance out the body. Pleasant white fruit and gentle floral flavors. — 5 years ago

Alsace AOC Pinot Blanc

I’m not sure the ID in this wine is exact. But anyway it starts a bit unctuous but has a surprising green apple tart finish. Quite drinkable for $8. — 6 years ago

This is 16 despite the label. Awesome nose. Big cherry fruit, some sweet oak, mint, soil tones, and just an amalgam of intense fruit. Really elegant and juicy with lithe silky tannins and such purity. Terrific structure and top notch finesse. Amazing purity and elegance. Long finish and very chewy. I think needs 3-4 years and/or a 3 hour decant. Terrific focus and freshness. Stunning balance. Awesome. Lovely stuff. — 7 years ago

Schlittweg Alsace Pinot Noir 2015

This is both dark and light at the same time - almost like if a black currant was trying to wave at you from across a large room, but it was tough to make out. Also, bright acidity. — 9 years ago

Pink Gold Trollinger Rosé 2020

Color is a beautiful, almost unnaturally reddish pink, cloudy and hazy. On the nose you get apple cider, watermelon, candied grapefruit and bubblegum. On the palate it's fairly dry with low acid and some of the notes on the nose are lost. It's mostly green apple, mango, peaches and some yeast. No funk from natural processes and incredibly refined for being unfiltered. On the finish you do get a bit of dried herbs. Pretty energetic bubbles like soda pop. — 4 years ago

Leon Barral never disappoints - perhaps not the top of the tops but his wines are always solid. Also the base Faugeres always does well. — 8 years ago

Gorgeous nose. Leather, red currents, wet moss, tobacco, mint, really terrific vivid aromas. Palate is soft yet juicy with whipsmart acidity. Wonderful freshness and length. So juicy. Very complex and drinking so well. Reminds me of Chateau Le Puy from the Cotes de Francs. @Delectable Wine this is from Wurrtemberg and not California. Thanks! — 9 years ago
