This is wine turned out to be a rare find in the US, as it's acreage is waning in it's birthplace, Germany, and even Japan (ca. 250 ha.) plants more Kerner than Italy (ca. 83 ha) does!
A 1920s cross between Trollinger (red grape) and Riesling, this grape, similar to Sylvaner, boasted a racy, fruity and way nutty/earthy/leathery flavor with a showy acidity. I was quite pleased with this find here on the West Coast and enjoyed every sip of it. — 9 years ago

Super tasty cross between CENTRAL coast CA Pinot and southern Rhône Grenache blend. Just the right amount of fresh black cherry and gentle Mediterranean herbs - lovely, low tannin profile with balanced acidity that defies the 14.5 ALC. FABULOUS at Otto Turkish Döner :) — 3 years ago

Blinded a dear buddy in the wine trade on this tonight, guesses all over the place, in a great spot, want to see this in 10+Y.

72H Update:
Nose has crushed blackberries, ripe plum, dried plum, dried tart cherries, moist mahogany and faint moist soil. Palate has tart plum, light molasses, blackberry compote, faint leather notes and fine tannins. Not as good as day one, but no slouch on day three. A wonderful experience, many years in the bottle to go ahead. — 4 years ago

it’s like Grand Cru Chablis except it’s Chenin. Smells like super great Dauvissat initially. Green Apple and tons of mineral. One of those wines that smells stuffed to the gills just by the nose, but you know it is holding out. Almost some green pea as well. No wax. No almonds. Clean nuts if that makes sense. This is new wavey Chenin like Guiberteau. Palate is just electric but is more Chenin than the nose with its feral fruit energy and vibe but also it has a Rieslingesque cleanliness to it. Dirty Chenin is one of my pet peeves. This is clan as a whistle. Like a cross between Guiberteau and Dauvissat. Dense, chewy, structured and deep. So clean and pure and length that does not quit. What poise and structure. But a lovely finesse and breed as well. This is sappy and dense as can be and one can crunch through the structure. Stunning purity and what a wonderful new expression of Chenin. Saumur is the place. — 8 years ago

First time having a Listan Negro grape from the canary islands. To me, tastes kind of a cross between a Blaufrankisch and a CA Pinot. Light-ish, good fruit and balance. Touch of oak at the end. — 3 years ago

Drinks like a cross between a good dry Riesling and a Loire SB. Very vivid, high acid, delicious and food friendly. Nice wine. — 5 years ago
