Unfaulted. Satisfactory in quality. Deep golden color and the most Alsatian of noses. Ripe pear, lanolin, honeysuckle and rich mouthfeel. Definitely opened up a bit, and became approachable as it sat for a bit. The palate confirmed [most] of the nose. The alcohol, unfortunately, lacked integration. Med + finish. — a year ago
Deep garnet in the glass. On the nose, juicy red currants, violets, some bell pepper, and pencil shavings. Oak was judiciously used, and the tannin is integrated well. Confirmed on the palate with medium + body, medium acidity, and medium alcohol. Unfaulted of above satisfactory quality. — a year ago
Deep ruby in the glass. The wine is still very youthful, with notes of blackberries and dried herbs. There is a decent amount of oak that’s teetering on the edge of too much. Medium acidity, medium integrated tannin. Finish is distinguished. Unfaulted and a better than satisfactory example of this varietal. Drink now through 2026. — a year ago
Garnet in the glass of medium intensity. On the nose it’s a symphony across the spectrum of red fruit—the reddest and ripest strawberry, raspberry, red currants, rose, and herbaceousness in the realm of dried thyme. Confirmed on the palate and demonstrating incredible balance. Medium body, medium + acid, medium alcohol, and fine tannin. Lingering finish. No oak/ neutral oak. It’s a wine that knows precisely what it is. Of superior quality. Drink now. — a year ago
Light straw in the glass with a delicate mousse. Very fresh on the nose with notes of lemon, green apple, and madeleine cookie. On the palate, zippy acidity, but fades quickly. Very easy drinking. Unfaulted, and above satisfactory quality. — a year ago
Golden straw in the glass. The wine is youthful with aromas of ripe red apple, fresh sage, and sunflowers. Medium body with a semi-lucious lanolin quality, medium acidity. Lingering finish. Unfaulted wine of superior quality. — a year ago
