Wow!

Alan Weinberg

and how’d it taste?

The attack and general profile of the wine shows the vitality and energy from 70% of wine being from this century, and the mid palate and finish displays more of the nuance, inflections, and complexity of older wines. Cool wine to taste.

Luscious citrus and herbal tones. Nice finish. I have heard silvaner described as honeysuckle and I agree. — 7 years ago

Light to medium gold with greenish tint. Leesy nose. Wet stone, McIntosh apple, honey - white flower, camomile. Fresh baguette. Med+ acid, medium body (that’s deceptively rich). Baked pear on the palate, but bright, clean, and incisively focused. Acid is all in tune - and the result is elegant. — 8 years ago

First Sylvaner I've had, once again the fascist myth of noble varieties vs ignoble varieties (called "blenders") is shown to be bullshit, this wine is complex, dynamic, and singular, sort of like clover honey drizzled over kiwi fruit and green apples. — 11 years ago

Steve- great write up! You should give the Scribe Sylvaner a try. We had it last New Year's Day w bourbon- pecan glazed ham and it was really nice.

Nose is herbal and gorgeous with huge minerality. Lovely sugar snap peas, some C.K. Some confectionary aromas and just a beguiling whirlwind of so many non fruit aromas it’s hard to pinpoint them. A feral element as well but is so clean, so pure. It smells like the cleanest nature scene you can imagine. Yes it smells like a Bob Ross painting. Juicy and very complex with just a waterfall washing feeling across the palate. The balance of the fruit, minerals, acid and texture is extraordinary. Such delineation and grace. Stunning wine. — 7 years ago

First, best cork design ever. And agreed with the joy of the little dude on it. Some nice aging notes—caramel, woodsy honey, almost a sherry tinge—with ripe stone fruit, lemon. Fruit’s fading with age, but still lovely... Christmas brunch! — 8 years ago
