Dark cherry, cranberry, orange rind. Delicious with great acid lift and tension. Yum!

Great value, bouncy fruit, soft and easy. Awesome alternative to pinot from almost anywhere for the price. These Spatbugunders have such a great sense of minerality to them.

Nice delicate light red fruits, spice, acids, minerality. On the Syrah side of Pinot in the tertiaries.

Always a food friendly, highly quaffable pinot. Tart red & black fruit with ample acidity and just enough tannin.

Tasty! Light and bright without being diluted. Soft berry. Beautiful aroma. Would drink again and again.

Friedrich Becker does a wonderful job with this entry level #PinotNoir from the wine growing region of #Pfalz (#Palatinate). Aged in old oak barrels, this wine is as crisp, elegant and powerful as any of its more prestigious Pinot Noir brethren across Europe.

Lean, high acidity, notes of mineral with bing cherries, a little thin on the finish.
