Set aside that this is THE ONLY SERIOUS SYLVANER FROM CA that I know of; this is just a plain excellent wine. I mean the Winemaker’s were skilled. To take a variety known for its “neutral character” and walk that fine line and bring out a purely pleasurable expression says a lot about this historic Sonoma estate. Controlled aromas reflect its Alpine heritage. never reduced nor overly fruity; The nose on this wine simply invites you to put it in your mouth. Light to medium full in texture it’s perfectly balanced on the edge of richness and acidity, with flavors of lemon citrus light herbs and a faint creamy finish. Bravo. I’m impressed. — 4 months ago

This wine was fermented with native, wild yeast in concrete or steel and then aged in neutral oak barrels for about six months. According to the @scribewinery website, it comes from "vineyards planted with equal parts of two California heritage clones ideal for the region’s dense clay: Martini and Pommard. The Martini grapes add spice and fresh, high tones complemented by the Pommard’s natural earthiness."

Scribe, Carneros, XII. Beauty Blue, Pinot Noir, Vintage 2018. ABV 13.5%.

Los Carneros, meaning 'the rams' in Spanish, is a unique wine region because it is shared between Sonoma County and Napa Valley. It is one of my favorite places in Califorina for Pinot Noir. With the coastal breezes and fog channeling inland from San Pablo Bay, the vines have a combination of sun and cooling moderators, to aid in both the ripening and the preservation of acidity / brightness of character, which can ultimately lead to a well-balanced, but also well-concentrated wine.

I picked this up at @france_44 and would definitely buy it again. — 2 months ago
