Kastanienbusch Riesling 2016

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Moritz Gnann is leading WAGNER (Siegfried Idyll), MOZART (Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat) with the outstanding Paul Lewis on piano and SCHUMANN (Symphony No. 3, Rhenish).

Peach juice, Lemon zest, wow Lemon oil like I've never tasted before, white flowers crushed in a limestone mortar with a granite pestle, aromas of late Spring rain on new flowers growing in the midst of a granite scree slope whilst someone had been running around squeezing Lemons beforehand, crazy. Looking forward to seeing how this develops in the coming days, too interesting to finish tonight.

24hr Update: Very tropical fruit-ish on the nose, still with lemon, lemon, lemon. The lemon oil notes have backed down on the palate. My wife thinks it's limes, it's definitely lemons, she's crazy.

48hr Update: Acidity and lemon oil characteristics are beginning to subside, probably 30% less than day one, just a stellar bottle!

@Severn Goodwin great note. Sven’s Kastaniembusch is utter madness.

Albillo 2013

Albillo with a touch of age. This is Bosc pears crushed with a granite mortar and pestle. Great texture. Not quite "nervy" but there's definitely an eye tic going on. — 9 years ago

Brick & Mortar La Perla Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

The only Pinot Noir made with Napa fruit better than Brick and Mortar's Cougar Rock Pinot is this wine right here. complex, beguiling, nuanced and mysterious are some of the endless descriptors that can be used to describe this beautiful Spring Mountain Pinot. Can't wait to taste this in another 5 years or so, as it is destined for greatness. — 9 years ago

Granite Gamay

Well well played again Psychic Wines. This wine is nearly so dexterous as...me? I may be more bendy but this is so complex and layered yet lithe I’d imagine it could do both buttoned up fox trot and a free wheeling lindy hop. Tasting note wise? You took so red sour patch kids and put them in a granite mortle and pestle, added an assorted mess o green stuff. Maybe some pine needles and sage and a pinch of white pepper. You pestled that shit up then sprinkled with candied rose and lilac and blessed with a licorice wand. And then you had the magic product known as Natural Wine at Peak. — 7 years ago

Vin Clair Napa Valley Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2018

Alexis Davis Iaconis
9.5

This wine is a co fermented Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made as a white wine. The grapes are all from the Block House Vineyard in Napa Valley. Aromas of ripe cantaloupe, guava, and white pepper with notes of nectarine, lemongrass and coriander on the palate. Salty mineralogy and very fresh acidity. 11% alcohol! — 6 years ago

Heritage Chablis Chardonnay 2014

2014 Chablis...So Good!

Initially a little cold, it displayed an interesting nose of creamed honey and lemon. Now that it's warming we're smelling fresh lemon ground down in a mortar and pestle, that vibrant citrus aroma from flesh and pith combined with abundant minerality.

The palate is full of great minerality, day old cut lemon, under-ripe white peach, green apple with a sprinkle of salt. $23, value delivered!

Reserva Herederos del Marques de Riscal Rioja Tempranillo 2009

Such a consistent producer. Mortar and pestle ground tobacco, dried cherries and prune.
Top note of vanilla and cracked nutmeg leads to raspberry and plum.
Fine granular tannins and smoked paprika (actually that might be an influence from the seasoned shrimp and linguisa dinner).
Enjoyable!
