Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne Blend 2017

Extra brut. Assemblage base vendage 2017. Disgorged December 2022. Dosage 2g/L. So well balanced. Color is gold. Apricots, some baked apple, minerals galore, a bit of brightness like lime, biscuit. Finish is full with more stone fruit, almond biscotti, key lime. Just invites me back for more. Outstanding. — a year ago

Praelatenberg de Kintzheim Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2014

Wowza! This is one interesting and satisfying Riesling. Almost vendage tardive-ish in the nose, which has crushed rock, burnt honey, sweet smoke, apricot, ripe apple, and sweet floral notes. Rich and slightly sweet in the mouth, the flavors are intense, but so is the acidity. Mouthwatering and long. A great Alsace Riesling. — 5 years ago

Fronholz Gewurztraminer

Perfection Gewurz. A lot of vendage tardives qualities here which make me wonder how old the vines are?! Amazing body, perfect perfumes and a solid finish. Notes of honeysuckle, vanilla white peach, ripe pineapple, mango lychee and a hint of citrus. — 4 years ago

Vendage 2010, deg. 2016
Amazing and weird! Nutty and fruity, with a hint of menthol on the palate! Something is a bit chemical to me.

Vendange Tardives North Yuba Roussanne 2006

Vendage Tardive 100% Roussanne.

A savory late harvest wine, best paired with savory vs. sweet food.

California earthy soil profile, golden grass, tea-like tannin, Chrysanthemum bitter, candle wax. Clean Acidity, not notably sweet.

Very good late harvest savory wine, not dessert sweet.

Hengst Grand Cru Pinot Gris 2004

Like a Vendage Tardive. Hints of Botrytis gives a wonderful complexity. 16 years old. Lovely cumquat marmalade, wasabi and olive oil. No hint of oxidation. Unctuous on the palate yet a freshness that is confounding. Incredible length and finish. — 5 years ago

Lovely vendage tardive Gewurztraminer to finish last night, nicely sweet but not cloying, spicy and floral, great acidity, needs aging. — 6 years ago
