Loved the old-fashioned funk in this one: old foudres, sweat, wool and fur, wet mossy rocks, spicy minerals, mountain meadows, fresh herbs, blood orange. Elegant, full of detail, good concentration. Fantastic! — 10 years ago

Wow,earth hint of meadows with grass — 12 years ago
Powerful but light on its feet, this is a very angular and serious wine robed in a deep red core with ruby edges.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc aged for 24 months in French oak barrels.
The nose reveals the Tuscan coast terroir here with scents of wild flower meadows, earth and minerality in the form or crushed rocks, with a cedar note that adds a seasoning to the black raspberry, cherry and currants. The palate reveals some serious complexity, adding some graphite to the melange of fruits and earth. The tannin are ripe and firm with a full body tempered by acidity that flows into a long, clean finish. — 9 years ago
World Class! Nose: Tart blackberries. rosemary, cardamom? black currant. I would spend at least 3 minutes to figure out the nose! Taste: Tart Black Forest wild morello cherries, leather belt, Black Forest tyme yes there is a thyme which grows in the meadows of the Black Forest. Color: light. Best Pinot made in Germany. If you have any ANY, ANY chance ever to get your hands on this wine get it. Usually highly allocated.
Imported by Lyle Fass or Stephen Bitterolf (vom Boden) often only one keg made. 300 bottles.
Can run with burgundies at 120$ any day tasted side by side with 2013 Mark Haisma Morey St. Denis.

2008 vintage... Meadows was right very good for the vintage — 11 years ago
I did not get to taste this but my brother and meadows got to. This is part of a series of wines i have had the honor of drinking and were shared with my family, they have ended up on the mantle piece. Many more are missing but i wanted to create an archive... This is not being posted to make anyone jealous. I'm just part of a wine family and of course many friends share some precious gems with us. — 11 years ago
