Grand Cru Sommerberg Vendanges Tardives Riesling 2020

This capped off a Tuscan red tasting dinner that went by too fast to really take any notes (the 2019 Tenuta Colonna Bolgheri Superiore and 2016 Tenuta Di Sesta Brunello were standouts). This freakin rocks, not super sweet but with such richness and complexity. Sneaky zingy acids buoy it all up. Ridiculous finish. Wowza. — 9 days ago

Wiptal Sommerberg Grand Cru Pinot Gris 2018

Crisp aroma of yellow apple, pear, & petroleum. Soft, almost buttery notes of lemon zest, yellow apple, pear, honeysuckle, & residual sugar. Crisp, yet sweet. Delicious wine. Had this next to the regular Boxler Pinot Gris, and both are phenomenal. This one leans a bit sweeter though. — 2 years ago

Sommerberg Grand Cru Riesling 2017

This was slammin, wears the 9 g/l RS like a champ. Pleanty of plushy depth, brilliant acid, aromas for days. Almost hedonistic fruit but in balance, just a joy to have in the glass . — 4 years ago

Clear, medium gold with nice with nice unncharacteristic legs given away high alcohol content for a Riesling. Nose of medium+ intensity, primary, developing. Honeysuckle, peach and hint of melon on the nose. Off dry palate with high acidity offsetting the medium+ body. Leads to a medium+ finish. Juicy, concentrated and flavorful now but should develop some interesting secondary notes adding to complexity down the line. — 6 years ago

Alsace Grand Cru Mambourg Gewürztraminer 2018

Delicious. Musky, ripe, and stony on the nose. A bit more on the dry side than many Gewurzes these days, and all the better for it. Pillowy texture and a lot of fruit initially, but then turns a bit minerally on the finish. Soft acids, but enough when joined with the slight bitter note on the back half of the finish. Very nice rendition. — 3 years ago

Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling 2019

Domaine Jean-Marc Bernhard Alsace Grand Cru Riesling ‘Wineck-Schlossberg’ 2019: Light-bodied. Vibrant acidity. Refreshing taste. Classic Riesling nose with palate flavors of apple, apricot, lemon & minerals. Lovely off-dry finish. All in all, a clean & bright Alsace Riesling; very pleasant, very versatile, good value. Happy Saturday to all! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

Wineck-Schlossberg Alsace Grand Cru AOC Gewürztraminer 2020

A wine of gras, texture, perfume and complex interplay of fruit and spice. Grilled peach, poached pear, white cherry, rose petals, caraway, cloves, spice, stone. Considerable RS, has to be 40 g/l +, but its phenolic grip and weight balance it. Been enjoying it over 7 days, great with red curry, harrissa chicken and cous cous, and triple cream — 4 years ago

Riesling Sommerberg Jeunes Vignes 2014

One of the most respected names in Alsace, Albert Boxler holds a total of 14 hectares in and around Niedermorschwihr, approximately half of them in the Brand and Sommerberg grand crus. Within the Sommerberg, they vinify each of their parcels separately and produce multiple Riesling bottlings from different lieux-dits, discreetly indicated with capitals on their labels.

The Sommerberg D comes from a southeast-facing plot with 70+ year old vines on granite soils at altitude of about 250-290 meters (820-950 ft) in the Dudenstein section. The Sommerberg E comes from a very steep and stony plot with 45+ year-old vines higher up in the hill at about 400m (1,300ft) in the Eckberg section. The “regular” Sommerberg is sourced from two different plots with 40+ year-old vines at an elevation of 320-330 meters (1,000 ft). Additionally they produce a JV Jeunes Vignes (aka Réserve in the US, pictured here) with the youngest vines or declassified fruit from these sites as well as their late harvest/Vendange Tardive VT and Sélection de Grains Nobles S.G.N. depending on the year.

Sommerberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2016

Beautiful wine. Nose has ripe golden delicious apple fruit, and subtle dark minerality. Mouthfilling, extracted, almost tannic, but still retains some elegance. Dry. I would prefer a tad more acidity, but this was a good value so I’m not quibbling. — 7 years ago
