Lutzeltal Pinot Noir 2019

[From a few nights ago, Delectable never posted my note.] This 2019 is more fruit-forward than the 2016 Lutzeltal Pinot Noir, nice drinker, medium-bodied, very good Alsatian Pinot Noir, but without the structure and depth of that outstanding 2016! — 18 days ago

Lutzeltal Sylvaner 2021

Rich, round, spicy, shows perhaps a tiny bit of R.S., nice balancing acidity, lingering finish, lovely Alsatian Sylvaner! — 2 months ago

I love Gewurz. I mostly drink it myself and with family members who enjoy it. My experience opening them with dinner guests who are unfamiliar with its unique smell/flavor profile is that they almost invariably dislike it because it’s so dissonant from their expectation of what white wine is supposed to be. Their loss!

Bollenberg Alsace Muscat 2021

A perennial favorite in our house, Agathe’s 2021 Muscat shows less ripeness than other vintages we’ve had, super floral aromas, lithe and crisp on the palate, very pretty and refreshing, really our go-to Alsatian white sipper!! — 22 days ago
