Nice and aromatisch, great blend of pinot gris and pinot blanc. Super bright acidity. Bitter almond finish with slight sparkling feel on the end of the palat. Danke Rainer, sehr gut und geil. — 9 years ago

Pale burgundy color. All cherry - sour, Bing, Rainer, and earth on the nose. Restrained cherry fruit, minerality and earth, and a lingering finish. Would have guessed Gevrey burgundy. Very good. Interesting contrast to Red Car from last night. — 10 years ago

A nice surprise out of Sicily. Strawberries, Rainer & bing cherries, just a touch of bready/yeasty, refined chalkiness and a rhubarb, pomegranate fruit finish. — 10 years ago

Happy Birthday Colton! Was not very impressed by this in the tasting room back in 2013, but we bought it anyway because it had just gone #2 on the Spectator top 100. Three years later and I am glad we picked it up!! Pretty ruby color in the glass. Silky smooth, with a light mouth feel and good acid. Classic Pinot red fruits, especially strawberry and Rainer cherry. Actually preferred it served a little cool. — 10 years ago

Fruitier Austrian style, pretty stinky and even a decant needed some serious blender action to blow it off, after that it cleaned up. — 10 years ago

Bill Bradley straight killing it! Blueberry cedar, cherry compote (Rainer) with a aged light red Rainer cherry acidity it's pure loveliness! It stands up against lightly seasoned sous vide ribeye. Silky but your pursuit of the subtleties will give way to nice tannic grip, but it shows some velvet. Melts the fat and sticks around to shake your hand after. — 10 years ago
