Got it, thanks. I use a Zalto for that, but then I only use it when we have parties. I can’t afford to spit what few wines I have! I must take a look at your offerings soon.

Lovely red fruits and very gentle, lipstick like intensity, juicy and so clean, textured and velvety wispy tannins.

Enderle & Moll

Muschelkalk Weißburgunder 2021

On a 92° day, all concrete fits the bill nicely. Pinot Gris that at first screams Apples, then settles into muted oranges and almonds. Nice, if almost enough acidity to carry it. A mid-lier.Enderle & Moll is always welcome.
Thanks @ FassSelections
Welcome back, Lyle.!

Enderle & Moll

Liaison Pinot Noir 2018

A little VA which blows off. Then a cherry freak show which calms down. Dark and morello cherries. Chalky. 13.5%. Quite rich and a little atypical for E&M. Needs more time to resolve fruit (3-5 years). — 20 days ago

Enderle & Moll

Spätburgunder Rosé 2021

Fruity, austere, and wild. One of the few Rose's you could spot in a lineup - distinct E&M natty twang in a lucid cherry crimson glow, a little bit candied, sour, and herbaceous.

Wild sour cherry, strawberries and cream, and dark green rosemary.

Baden Pinot Noir

After Mr. L. F. scarred the shit out of me on the 17‘ Enderle & Moll‘s. I took a look at the Basis wine. And guess what it’s pretty good! Rosé like color. Orange zest on the nose. Tons of acid so some folks might take a step back. Then morello cherries and back palate herbs. Touch band aid. Could run for another 3-5 years. Not one of their top efforts but not bad either. Needs tons of air. — 17 days ago

If you ever knew what happened to make these wines drinkable you’d have a whole new appreciation for this estate. 17 was so difficult!
