Toasty, sweaty and smoked meat notes vie with dried cherry and red currant for aromatic attention on the nose of the 2019 Red Wine Niedermenniger Herrenberg trocken. The palate perpetuates those impressions with an alluringly silky feel allied to just enough juiciness. Rose hip, cherry pit, black tea and black pepper lend complexity to an impressively sustained finish. (For why this 100% Pinot Noir is labeled simply, in English, “Red Wine,” consult my review of the corresponding 2017.) (David Schildknecht, Vinous, May 2022)

Well located situated between Lafleur and Petrus hence the name. A little bit of history - Pomerol was originally planted by the Romans but fell into disrepair and neglect until the 17th and 18th Century. The total area of Pomerol is only 800 hectares. This wine is plummy and very earthy and so enjoyable. My notes said “This is why one loves Pomerol “. — 4 years ago

La Vie del Colle ‘Ultra’ Bianco Forli IGT 2020: Fresh. Fruity. Fun. Loved this organic, non-filtered, natural Albana wine from the Forlì/Cesena area of Emilia-Romagna. Hand-picked during 3 different times of ripeness with 8 months of maceration in terracotta amphoras, this wine displayed nice structure & balance with clean sapid peach notes. A perfect lunchtime selection to pair with a mozzarella, pomodoro, salsiccia e funghi cassoni. Yum to both! Cheers 😋🍷 — 25 days ago
Sourced from the esteemed Seven Hills Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley, this Viognier opens with a ripe bouquet of white peach, vanilla cream and suggestions of honey and apricot. The palate shows notable viscosity and tension, with nectarine, Pink Lady apple, green papaya and honeydew melon flavors all buiding up to the finish. Drink 2019-2025- 92 — 3 years ago

Beautiful light brick-brown colour with pink reflections. First nose evolved on dried fruits, nuts, apricots, then notes evoking maple syrup, peach syrup, hazelnut. Light, creamy, deep, paradoxical fine as great wines know how to make us experience it. Remanent finish, to be tasted certainly once in a lifetime when you can as an aperitif, such as on desserts based on nuts, chocolate, apricots, or with a camembert with raw milk. Serve a little refreshed.
Belle robe brun-brique clair aux reflets rosés.. Premier nez évolué sur les fruits secs, noix, abricots, puis des notes évoquants le sirop d’érable, la pêche en sirop, la noisette. Fin léger, onctueux, profond, paradoxal comme les grands vins savent nous en faire faire l’expérience. Finale rémanente, à goûter assurément une fois dans sa vie quand on peut à l’apéritif, comme sur des desserts à base de noix, chocolat, abricot, ou encore avec un camembert au lait cru. Servir un peu rafraîchi. — a month ago
