@Delectable Wine : This is the Under the Wire Hirsch Vineyard Blanc de Noir, not a rosé.
I bought this as it was advertised as a rosé, but it’s just a Blanc de noir. Thankfully, it was a tasty mistake.
Killer fruit in the hands of MTP makes for a delicious bubbly. Opened alongside a 2019 Carboniste BdN as a comparison of Cali bubbles, they were on opposite sides of the spectrum. This UTW Hirsch was more big-house in profile whereas the Carboniste had a grower vibe. Pours almost orange in the glass. Fairly yeasty. Honeyed and orange marmalade. There is a perception of semi-high dosage here, but I’m thinking it’s due to how ripe the fruit is. Extremely creamy and layered. I’d be curious to know how these are at release, but this seems to be aging beautifully. Pop for freshness, but it’s not falling off a cliff any time soon. — a year ago

That’s what I expect from a good Niederösterreich Riesling. Minerals, acidity, petrol aspects. Like it. Bit more age probably wouldn’t hurt though. Very bright and fresh acidity under it. No particular bouquet though. — 5 years ago
Tart citrus and lifted minerality. Subdued white pepper. Horseradish and cilantro. Medium minus body. Medium plus acidity. Not much of phenolic bitterness. — 6 years ago
Tarragon, baked pear, yellow peach, and yellow apple. Texture is soft without any hard edges. Lingering flavors of orange and spice. — 7 years ago
Blind tasting no2. We all immediately pegged this as old world Riesling. The tell tale signs of petrol and dried apricot gave it away entirely. But we all missed Austria. Probably need to learn more about differences in common Riesling areas.
Clear and bright straw yellow with powerful petrol fumes. Off dry but medium-high acidity with a low-medium body. Dried apricots with some slate completely dominate the flavors. It’s not complex, but has a good finishing length. Riesling for certain. Austria? Wouldn’t know! — a year ago
