Nose-dark fruits,black licorice,vanilla,dusty.
Taste-blackberry,cherry,plum,black licorice,can I say tobacco? Ok I taste tobacco. Wow! Thick and juicy but not fruity.
Finish-dry,medium tannins,very smooth, underlying earth tones.
Overall-even better on 2nd day opened. I could not get enough of this wine. Always impressed with Joseph Wagner wines.$22.99
$22.50 at Harry’s Savoy Grille (1/2 price bottles on Wednesdays). Enjoyed with K.Pro.
Bottom line-excellent wine. My style for sure.
Not a typical Pinot Noir. Will buy more. Thanks Joe! — 4 years ago
Not to be harsh, but this was the underperformer of the blind tasting. As said in my previous notes, I reckon I would have gravitated towards this wine if it wasn't done blind. It wasn't a bad wine - I just expected a little bit more.
Nose was very closed. Just smoky and wild. Could have guessed this correctly if producer was an option I felt, since it had the deepest cut of the lot (pretty typical of Daniel's wines). To me the palate was a little less ripe - mix of citrus and stonefruits, sappy, laser precision. Good driven finish, but felt a little less complex than the rest at the moment. I liked this wine for its energy (the most of the lot), but it could have given more. Overall, the wines in this bracket were all showing very well - all wines I would buy for my cellar if I had more space. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2009 - #riesling #trocken with incredible good smell: complex with impressions of butter, vanilla, passion fruit and mango. Honey off course. Beautiful #rheinhessen with ocean perch and pasta salad. What a treat if riesling becomes older 😊 — 8 years ago

A mouthful up front with a creamy texture. Bottle, label, Wagner name so quality you expect from this family and Caymus they make. — 8 years ago
May be the best Malbec I’ve ever had. Smooth blackberry jam with ripe dark fruit, less bite than typical Malbecs. Would buy again. — 3 years ago
