Gorgeous nose. Fresh mowed grass. Peach, apricot, minerals and some vulcanized rubber. Very petty. Amazing how sugar changes the whole equation. Nose gains depth and breadth as it airs out. Palate is lights out with unreal fresh layers of fruit, peach, apricot and white peach. Nose gets more evocative and blends limestone and vineyard peach. Such a summer wine. And likely great with food. Dense, light, nimble and just the right amount of barely there sweetness. Outstanding. — 5 years ago

Quite rich & powerful with ripe pomelo and green grapefruit, lemon tart and some matchstick reduction. Fullbodied with the wood nicely integrated, good lemony acidity and nice length with a flinty finish. Needs some time to aerate so large burgundy glasses are a must. — 8 years ago
2012 is really drinking well, good fruit and just a touch of spice, nice bang for the buck. — 10 years ago

Bright mineral character at first, then rich yellow fruit and spice. Quite deluxe.

The future of sparkling wine is here. Chardonnay on limestone but in Saulheim. Unreal nose. Wow. Deep notes of green apple, butter, earth and minerals. So ebullient and expressive. This totally smells German but still has a foot in Champagne. Some notes of lime blossom emerge as well with air. This is like a $60 Champagne nose. Palate is awesome. Full of sweet lime fruit and very lemony and super crisp. Such cut and precision. Awesome chewiness and density while remaining light on its feet. It’s a very mineral wine. It almost seems Brut Nature but it’s classified as Brut. — 2 years ago
I really enjoyed this one. Acidic but nice — 4 years ago
Located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, the ‘Schindler Vineyard’ is a very small site planted to Pinot Noir and set on marine sedimentary soils. A light whiff of salinity runs through the nose with kirsch and peat moss aromas that all meld in the glass. The palate has good freshness and energy with bright reed fruits that dance with shades of blood orange and minerals. The seductive mineral and dark fruit driven finish lingers long on the palate. Enjoy this fantastic new bottling over the next decade or more. Drink 2019-2029- 92

Loved this! Drank it at a wine bar in Innsbruck with Andrew (Kym, Helen, and Tamara joined us). Nose was slightly musty but it had the most beautiful hint of sweetness. Absolutely delicious. — 9 years ago

No formal notes. See @Lyle Fass review. Stop overpaying for burgundy, buy this instead… — 4 years ago
Confectionary nose that is teeming with energy. Awesome minerals, sugar snap peas and airiness. So clean and intense. Awesome. Has that 19 lift. Rich, yet also so energetic and crisp. Has terrific fruit intensity like apricot and kumquat but finished mineral and shows its limestone footprint. So good. Lovely tension between elegant richness and intense minerality and crunch. — 5 years ago

Quite light straw colour . Green apple , lemon rind , white flowers and wet stones . On the palate high acidity balanced with hint of sweetness . Green apple , lime freshness , cool stony notes , good length and balanced alcohol . Simple but effective . Drink now but no rush over the next decade I should imagine . — 2 years ago
