Gracefully aged Blaufränkisch from Hungarian earth. Wonderful nose with dried red berries, underbrush, licorice and red currant. Still a lovely acidity, soft fully integrated tannins. The Barrique maturation is not noticeable. Franz Weninger is now slowly reducing the oak treatment in all his wines. Mainly using big, used old casks. Can't wait till the now actual wines are in the age window of this Steiner. The 2013 Steiner from slate soil is also a stunner. — 9 years ago

Perfect bottle in cork and fill. From laurel glen and Steiner vineyards on Sonoma mountain. Old school, room-filling perfume of iron, lifted red fruit, laurel bay, pink peppercorn and sweet pipe tobacco. A real beauty drinking at its peak. — 11 years ago

This wine is a stunner. The fruit is vivid but not overpowering. The mouthfeel is silky but weightless at the same time. And the acidity is sublimely balanced with the rest of the wine. A truly excellent expression of pinot noir. — 9 years ago

This puppy is till full of life, 21 years later. Zippy acid, intensely flavored fruit--Meyer lemon?--and mineral notes. Lingers long and nice. Gets a little thin in the middle, but the intense, long finish makes up for it. We had it with fresh white fish, scallops and corn off the grill on a hot eve. Perfect. — 10 years ago
