Mon dieu! This wine has an incredibly mineral-flushed nose, almost minty from all the whetstony chloride-alkaline minerals! Light ruby slightly hazy in color; medium-high acids and fine tannins, red fruit-dominated and perhaps a bit disappointing on the finish. Try in 3-5 years?! Excellent value at 10 USD for a half bottle!

Great value wine! For under $20 it's hard to find wines showing wonderful developing aromas and good fruit concentration with zinging acidity like this one. 👍🏻

Lovely entry level German Pinot Noir from a stellar producer. Good fruit and spice...easy to drink, everyday wine!

Absolutely delicious expression of Pinot. White pepper, earth, subtle red fruit, elegant and expressive at once. Great value at retail--will be buying a case presently!

Cuz when you're gonna drink GER Pinot Noir, you should do it right. Becker Estate Pinot--rich w/ perfectly ripened cherry frt, white pepper & bits of raw meat. Loads & loads of personality & a wine I just can't stop drinking. More please. #certifiablydelish

Totally closed upon opening 4 days ago, with 3/4 of the bottle left & stored in the fridge, this is now irresistible!

Pinot with a heavy mineral content combined with a mouth puckering sour cherry, decent amount of spice.
