Perfect cork.

Fantastic ripe plum notes to the nose and palate. I don't know the exact blending percentages of the grapes, but assume CS is dominant since it's listed first on the back label. But, the Merlot is most prominent at this age and it's singing a beautiful song tonight after 3H in the decanter. Last bottle from release purchase in April 2006, winery direct. — 22 days ago

2018 vintage. Snappy green apple, lime, white grape, slate. Good, easy-drinker, comparable to a Kabinett. — 4 years ago

So many prior notes, I’m not going to go into detail here, but in my mind, there’s a paradox here... Katz (the winemaker) has stripped away the usual embellishments, and produced a minimal, laser-focused SB. The major notes of exotic fruits and acidity ring as clear as a bell. Brilliant. — 4 years ago

A little off-dry. Not as perfect with dinner as I intended, but that’s on me. — a month ago

Ce vin léger est juste incroyable pour sa gamme de prix.... à moins de 15€ c’est une superbe expression du pinot noir façon Alsace. Un fruit rouge-acidulé soutenu par quelques belles notes de terroirs, terreuses, et d’épices douces type cannelle, girofle, et poivre. Superbe rapport prix/plaisir. Le tout en biodynamie. Que demander de plus !!

This light wine is just incredible for its price range .... at less than € 15 it is a superb expression of pinot noir in Alsace style. A tangy red fruit supported by some nice notes of terroir, earthiness, and sweet spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and pepper. Nice final and superb price / pleasure ratio. All in biodynamics. What else?! — 4 years ago
