Great wine. Big and powerful, favoring acidity but balanced. Complex with a range of flavor, running the gambit of red and black fruit, some candied, some tart, along with spice, especially black pepper. Crazy value for $19. — 5 years ago

Delicious!! This is an incredibly unique wine that runs the gambit of stone fruit flavors without being overtly fruity. If this is available, you should be drinking it! — 8 years ago

Multi-vintage. BIG wine, very inky. Blueberry, blackberry, black fig, fresh purple flowers, little bit of smoke, graphite, pain grille, lots of spices like allspice, clove, black pepper. Just a touch hot, but nothing that a little chill didn't rectify. Very good, high energy wine despite its dark backdrop. Don't always go for the musical analogies, but this wine reminds me of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls". — 8 years ago

No shit sold out. We spit 300+ wines. This was not one of them and represents some of the best whites in the new world. Orange honey marmalade but honestly name it and it's in there. I love this wine. — 10 years ago

A pretty good Petit Verdot. Nose is light if white pepper. Taste of a good Petit, light tannins but still good acidity. — 6 years ago

Big chewy red much like the red queen's bastard afterbirth.... what I can see in the fire is the smoky merlot characteristic as well as the Cabernet Franc singing throughout the afterlife. Big fruit form the Cabernet grapes are ever present and give the structure. Thank the old gods and new we were able to harvest the cork out of the neck! — 8 years ago

Gorgeous bouquet of blackberries and honeysuckle. Palate is fruit forward spanning the gambit of dark blue fruit cut by cedar and smoke laced tannins. Approachable now but very age able. Terrific value vs Bryant"s "first growth". — 9 years ago

Very gracefully aged. Lots of tart fruit backed up by mushroom, straw, dried leaves and a little spice. — 10 years ago

Одно из самых вкусных вин, которые я пробовала. Невероятно обаятельный медовый аромат и потрясающая терпкость. Рекомендую к этой бутылочке прикупить маздам и камамбер. — 11 years ago

This smells intensely of sage and sage flowers, along with passion fruit, grapefruit and elder flower. (“I am Scheurebe, hear me roar!”) Given such a resounding opening gambit, the wine proves (relatively!) discreet on the polished palate, turning in a coolingly minty and melony direction while preserving such luscious fruit as well as herbal pungency as the aromas promised. The terrifically-sustained finish is infectiously juicy, exhibiting overt but perfectly-integrated and supportive sweetness. Sage, grapefruit zest and smoky black tea accents serve for invigorating counterpoint. On occasion, the Rumpfs have demonstrated that these vines in the Dautenpflänzer can yield Scheurebe capable of playing in the Pfeffingen or Müller-Catoir league – and this is one of those delicious occasions. (On the heels of this beauty – on November 2, 2018 – I tasted a dry 2018 Scheurebe trocken, from fruit harvested in mid-September, that was already improbably delicious; but the Dautenpflänzer Scheurebe grapes from 2018 had been picked only a few days before I visited!)

A weighty and earth-laden wine that ran the gambit. I was taken back by the texture and sense of mineral the wine had. Complex and cerebral — 8 years ago
