Schneider Obsthof Am Steinberg
Sankt Martin 2020
Part of the still cider section in our cider study. Off-dry so pretty nice. As mentioned in previous notes, I found out that I prefer some bubbles and sugar in my cider from this study. Notes lost, so here are some online ones:
Semi-dry - fruit, seasoning and finesse! Orchard fruits collected very late from ancient high trunks - at St. Martin 2020! Mood on foggy autumn days with sunny lunchtime hours!
In the heart of the original Wetterau - a still wildly romantic area with wooded hills, grazed lowlands and rustic villages - the ancient high trunk apple trees of our Demeter colleague Wolfgang grow on the slopes on rugged rock and fertile loess. In his memory, the fruit trees have always been large and full! The traditional wine varieties thrive there - above all bean apple, winter rambour, prince apple, rose apple and other forgotten varieties. On three days late in autumn in wintry temperatures, we collected them by hand and spent our apple treasure home, gently squeezed and expanded with a lot of time and love. After almost a year of storage in the large tank, this wonderful essence of the orchard was bottled. — 2 years ago

Thorn Ridge Ranch Pinot Noir 2011
A. Fine. Pinot. Noir. 2011 Thorn Ridge opened June 21st, 2017. Lov-ly. Floral mushroom, cool climate delicate fresh tanned leather. There's an herbal note that is that 6th gear in a 5 gear race car. The still present tannin structure fades gently. This is serious shit people. This wine makes the argument that cold, foggy, Burgundian-style summers make. The. Finest. Pinot. Noir. — 7 years ago

Tree Kilpatrick
Dark purple/red color. Pretty deep color. Smells like stewed plums and cherry cider. Hint of soils and forests floor. Maybe a tiny bit of masking tape. Flavors are zingy and tart with a nice minerality in the mix. Plums cooked down. Not prunes but like Santa Rosa plums. Slight hint of licorice/fennel/anise in the finish. Plenty bittersweet. This is more complex, chewy and strange than most CA red blends. The label says ‘dark chocolate, dark cherry and toasted marshmallow’. I get some dark chocolate, but not the rest. Less candy and more good cooked fruit things… — 8 months ago
