Inky purple with a bright hue (spilled a drop on the white marble counter). Understated nose of tar and leather with a hint of black fruit. Balanced tannins with blackberry though no brambliness. Agree with another reviewer that Syrah may be an element. Great wine for a Friday night steak on the BGE. — 5 years ago
Austere, extreme minerality, like chewing pebbles and marble. Grapefruit and herbal notes. Great acidity. Very long finish full of tension and focus. So tight and unforgiving at the moment, needs several years in the cellar. Very powerful and full of promise. — 7 years ago
Much less interesting then the 2018. Which I reviewed just recently. This wine is elegant with mostly red fruit, cherry (but not in your face) hint of black currant, Plenty of acidity. Touch bark. Subdued crushed marble. May be i am tasting this too young. But over all this just does not strike me as a wine which challenges my palate. Compared to the 2021 E&M‘s from Baden. This is very blah. — a year ago
Tough vintage - might have been the worst in 10 years. Yet at 6 years this came around nice. I heard a lot of folks had concerns. Earth, bark, orange 🍊 rind, crushed marble, black currants, lime juice and a hint of cherry. So even this very basic version did quite well after 6 years. 12.5%. — 2 years ago
Nose has ripe peach, under-ripe peach, dehydrated nectarines, fresh green apple peel, faint petrol note, turbinado sugar and crushed marble.
Palate has sweet peach, ripe tangerine, dried pineapple, sweet oak with moist sandstone pulling up the long finish.
Decanted 2H+
Drink 2027-32.
This bottle is moving more in an Auslese direction than prior experience; a beautiful wine!
Paired to Chicken Adobo (Milk Street recipe) and I'm convinced that coconut milk ingredient dishes are a perfect match to Riesling. — 3 years ago
Interesting! A waft of strawberry on a warm tar road, after licking marble. Bright. Not shy on the elixir. — 5 years ago
What a delightful light red. If you close your eyes, you’re drinking a white. Soft fruit, light acidity and a sweetness that’s fresh. I had it at room temp this time but I could see putting it on ice in the summer months. — 5 years ago
12.4% alc. On Randy Fuller’s recommendation, I got a bottle of this, paired with blackberries, marble cake baked by my 11-year old niece, and some Salt & Straw ice cream - Coava coffee & Cloudberry craque (cacao nibs). Inky purple. Blueberry and blackberry aromas and flavors, slight seed bitterness, sweet tea and elderberry cough syrup in finish. Tough to assess but we liked it. More desserts, more dessert wine. — 7 years ago
Baden. Pinot. Kaiserstuhl. An old vulcano in the rhine valley. GG. Warmest area in Ger. figs grow there. Undertasted, ratet und non existent in the US. A suitcase import. Under imported. And overpriced when they are imported. Bought this for 20 bucks in 2012. Brown tinge. Orange zest nose, brown tinge. In the glass blueberries, bark, touch crushed marble, cardamom, hint turmeric, cherries and black tea. Great juice! Might go back May 2024. — 2 years ago
2018 vintage. Lemon dough, green grape, lemon zest, gesso, marble chippings, smoky white mulberries, pink orchid, carnation and cherry blossom bouquet shows chive and crisp green pea, but also lemongrass. Big and juicy lemon, lime zest, green pear skin, white pepper, chive, lime pith, lime juice, green apple, and beet greens. Crisp, refreshing, refined.

Marble & Rye house Bordeaux. Nice — 4 years ago
I am not a fan of this negotiant. But 15 is a great vintage and at a 50% discount for 45$ I gave it a shot. Especially since normal people are priced out of Burgundies with a name. Nose of subdued but mostly cherry . Quite tannic at first which resolves after 15 min and then really mellows out. Cherry 🍒 crushed marble let it breathe - then the overt cherry blows off - asian spices, orange peal, black tea. Nice for a very reasonable price. For the money this is really good! If you are in San Diego County the Meritage in Encinitas has may be a case left. — 5 years ago
Very nice Bordeaux style blend that’s cab franc dominant in a good way. Saint (like Marble) has a good wine list — 7 years ago
Baked yellow apple, caramelized pineapple, vanilla, bourbon, marble. Very bright acidity. Developed nicely. From magnum. — 7 years ago
