Rad Spätburgunder from the Pfalz; Koehler-Ruprecht never steers me wrong. Bracing and a bit rustic yet still elegant. Pours a medium (-) ruby garnet hue. Benefits from a tiny bit of air before serving but not like, necessary to decant it either. Wild raspberries and strawberries, blood orange peel, fennel seed, woodsy spice and birch bark, mushroomy, forest floor earthiness, and some floral rosehip character on the nose. The palate has more bracing, alpine red berry fruit, woodsy spice, rose floral character, and forest floor, supported by lively, medium (+) to high acid, and medium (-) tannin. Light to medium (-) body. Solid stuff. In a nice place right now, maybe would peak in a couple years but no compelling reason to hold on to it much either. — 9 years ago

This is like the Beaujolais of Nebbiolos I've had. Clear, day bright, medium- viscosity, no sediment. Ruby color with a bricking to orange rim, medium concentration.
Nose: the wine is so reductive and fruit forward its unique. Very serious deep strawberry notes. Stewed strawberries, overripe strawberry and cherries. White and red rose petals. Fresh and dried. This wine didnt see a ton of oak seemingly. Some light barnyardy earthiness. Light leather and fennel seed notes.
Palate: medium bodied, ripe red cherries, cherry skin and pits, strawberries, even slightly jammy. Licorice and white flowers, leather and some clove like spice to it. Maybe some cedar, hard to distinguish. Med+ acid, high tannins, medium finish. Lovely wine for the price point. — 11 years ago

This wine has an apple and lime interplay, with matchstick, pencil, lemon oil and hazelnut scents forever. Gas lamp, briny yellow olive, lemon pith, lemon seed, white clay, clean smoke. Such an easy, deft and focused wine. Puts some pep in your step. #Bourgogne #bourgogneblanc #frenchwine #whiteburgundy #whitewine #burglove — 9 years ago

Pronounced, layered aromas of blackberries, plums, lavender and lilac, the 2014 Red is Seed Wine's inaugural release and is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 16 months on new French oak, this polished Argentine red exhibits fabulous purity of fruit at the core, cradled in fine, velvety tannins. There is a nice burst of mineral-tinged acidity towards the finish that adds subtle lift and textural elegance. A lovely wine for a first effort. Less than 200 cases produced. I should also mention, I manage social media for this winery. — 10 years ago

Anise, celery seed, and middle weight berry on the nose. Blackberry and raspberry and anise on the palette. Graphite, leather and mushroom. Still plenty of grip on the tannins and acidity. Gorgeous. — 10 years ago
