Ziereisen

Rhini Blauer Spätburgunder 2019

Tight.
N:Reticent, herbaceous, black plums, cocoa. Plush red/brown velvet nose.
P: Way too young… patience my man,
But nice plums, tilled earth, dense, herbs, lots of acid,
This ain’t no Cali/Ore Pinot.
I say come back in five? yrs.
After 1 hr + in a decanter, Wow! Dirty leather,
Big.
Thank @ Fass Selections
From Skurnik:

The pick of the sites on the big hill, this is limestone again, and the wine is fascinating, bloody yet almost mineral; a truly complex mid-palate, animated and squirming; dark fruit and warm crust and a lingering multi-faceted finish.

Encinas Bierzo Mencia 2018

Chuggable lighter weight Mencia from terrific producers, one from the Rhone. High acid, almost effervescent mineral notes, with bright cherry, white pepper, herbs, and violets... fermented in cement, some whole cluster. Delicious!

In Deidesheim Pfalz Riesling 2017

A serious Pfalz qualitatswein, I think. Such minerality & layers, with an edge of sweetness but just alluded to. In a almost completely Trocken style but not. I don’t know this maker well but oozes quality. Refreshing after a Mets loss. Thiesse/ Skurnik importer. — 7 years ago

Yeah I’ve seen also a Sauvignon Blanca by this producer @Ira Schwartz which caught my eye, but haven’t tried. Mets break my heart...

Domaine du Clos du Fief

Tradition Juliénas Gamay 2018

The bottle gets a 9.0, but I want to give it a 10.0 because the Skurnik portfolio, to an extent, has hit Mississippi! A big moment for the troubled relationship my state seems to have with good European wine. Nice more robust style Gamay. Not particularly my cup of tea, but it tastes damn good tonight. Now it is time to see more than bottom of the bin burgundies around! — 5 years ago

Le Pied a L'Etrier Saumur Puy Notre Dame Cabernet Franc 2017

Must have been a scorcher vintage cause don’t remember 14.5% alcohol. Still a go to summer red though. Fresh, balanced still, all red fruits with strong raspberry pull. Dense dark red appearance. Originally a Daniel Johnnes find, Skurnik importer. — 6 years ago

"Porphyr" Nahe Riesling 2016

I drink Mosel reisling when I want to share with my wife, but when I drink on my own or with homeboys( whenever that may be), I go Nahe. Lock n load minerality and a very dense mix of slate, salt, & peach. A tic above room temp & the rs comes through. Balanced. Skurnik importer. — 6 years ago

Erich Sattler

Burgenland St. Laurent 2017

With air, the uni dimensions of currants & a fussier, tighter palate really blossoms into a more rounded, red cherry affair. Not the last word on complexity given this is entry level, but for 16/17$ it’s a nice deal. Terry thiesse & Skurnik, importer — 5 years ago

Equis

Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2018

Smell of ripened sweet plums in an orchard where a strong aromatic herbs are grown along the edge.

Dense and lovely - this wine shows bright, rich fruits, raspberry pie, unsweetened blackberry jam, hints of Provençal herbs with a lip smacking tanginess, and elderberry acidity.

Give me a Skurnik find any day.
Delicious !

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Toscana Sangiovese Blend

Really loves a decant. Very dry so loves oily food; has the black cherry, medium frame, not too complicated Montalcino thing going on. Still, has some depth, & a second bottle awaits. Skurnik importer — 7 years ago
