Erdener Treppchen Auslese Rieslingn ** 2014
Like their whites but not a fan of their Pinot's. I've never understood why in a marginal climate for Pinot they continue to plant it in slate when it likes limestone. Tasted 50 wines there in September 15... only the three Pinot's were bad. I think my notes were, "tastes like wild game & dirt."
@David T I haven't tried Pinot's from the Mosel region yet, so I don't have an opinion about them. The German Pinot's that I have tried were from the Baden-Baden nude resort (just kidding, the wine region is only one Baden), Wurttemberg and Rheingau regions. I think the Mosel have to keep doing what they are good at and stay away from the Pinot Noir varietals.
@Daniel Martinez-Cardenas agreed. There are some nice Pinot's out of Baden

Max Reserva Estates Single Vineyard Carménère 2011
Another outstanding and delicious Chilean Carmenere. Full bodied and lush with blackberries, currants, dark cocoa, a little Tarragon and black pepper. Well balanced tannins and oak. Can you imagine I got this wine for $3 bucks? The best bargain I got recently. www.wineomart.com — 13 days ago
