Can’t imagine paying $100+ for this, but it is a viscous, layered, tropical stunner. Pineapple and apricot spread to every corner of the palate with a long, luxurious finish. Teriyaki glazed pork? Soup dumplings? What to pair this with? Awesome wine with another fifteen years ahead of it. — 5 years ago

Wine-guy lemonade!
This bottle is true to form. Bright with lingering acidity & slight effervescence, yet rounded with developing honeyed orange, candied apricot, and sharp green pear notes. Was curious on how 2011's were coming along so I pulled the cork. Recommended one serving per bottle.
Rudi Weist. Alc 8%/vol — 8 years ago
MAGNUM! This is an unique blend of all the permitted grapes in Chateauneuf (red and white), named after Rudi’s grandfather, that plays well above its humble Vin de Pays du Gard, complex, rich, structured, needs 5+ more years, great wine!!
(Disclosure — Rudi is a friend through my brother, who imports his wines, but the front label shows the 12th Century chateau on the Rhône across from Chateauneuf, just south of the Lirac appellation!!) — 3 years ago
One of the most profound & satisfying gruner’s I’ve had. Notes of white pear, daffodils, green peas, white pepper, with floral and almost marzipan qualities all come together harmoniously & dance on the tongue & drives home with an intense mineral backbone. Beautiful. — 6 years ago
Petrol-forward, slightly oxidized nose. Massively floral, great ripeness. Peach, honey, golden apple, electric mouthfeel and taut with minerality. Impeccable concentration of fruit- such intensity yet so much delicacy. Superb with my green shrimp curry. One of my favorite producers from the Rudi Wiest portfolio, particularly for its value. — 7 years ago
Lemon citrus smell, nutty taste, creamy texture... yes and it is in Le Bernardin — 7 years ago

Another special wine from @Scott Schultz - Syrah led blend but the Grenache and viognier shine through. Beautiful dark fruit with complexity. Amazing wine for the price! — 6 years ago

Nose displays white peach, green apple, lime, ripe starfruit, touch a dry hay, and hint of honey. The palate, bright and lively, is a bit leaner than the medium to fu body suggests. Fascinating bitter sweet on the finish.
Should drink more GV. — 3 years ago
