So, I’m of the opinion that Gerhard Reisacher’s sweet spot is Cabernet Franc. This 2009 isn’t quite as good as his 2007 - that is the best 100% cab franc I’ve ever had - but this is damn close. No trace of the bell pepper you typically get from people picking the fruit too early, this is a terrific wine with notes of something reminiscent of roasted chipotle pepper, black pepper, and currant. Medium-to-full bodied palate with a silky, mouthfilling feel leading to a lingering finish. This is nothing like a cab franc from The Loire - pure California - but a terrific wine nonetheless. Winemakers would do well to take lessons from Gerhart on how to handle this varietal. — 5 years ago

Very inviting nose with ripe prunes and blackberries, a touch of cassis and a hint of spices with cedar wood, pepper & cinnamon. On the palate quite sleek & cool with fine, filigrane structure. Polished tannins, juicy acidity, a sense of authenticity concreted by the tart plum fruit and earthy undertones. This is a delicious blend (Zw, Bf, Me) and excellent value for money. — 6 years ago

Smells like strawberries, raspberries, lemons and a touch of smoke. Great acidity, minerality and mouth feel. Taste similar to nose. Super fresh and gorgeous color too. — 7 years ago

This wine was a present of a friend. It's nice and round. Südsteiermark is a real premium wine region in Austria. Soon, me and my wife will follow our friend's invitation. — 7 years ago

A fine happy hour pick. This had tannic grip. Not a pushover, and benefited from food. Second day it had alcohol dominance. — 5 years ago

Stefan Winter riesling. Otroligt saftigt, gott. Fläderaktigt. Smakar som 6 procent men är i själva verket 12. Dricks som det är utan mat. — 6 years ago

Elegant, fresh, picked straight off a lemon tree and squeezed and put in a pitcher and sold on a street corner in suburban heaven for .25 cents a mason jar full. This puckerupper is sassy AND punk... not yr average sylvaner. — 7 years ago

Fading black fruit with an amazing array of exotic spices. A Christmas tree of sorts. Juicy acidity and soft tannins. Drinking beautifully and lasting for long minutes. — 7 years ago
