Mitterberg Gewürztraminer 2022

Superb interpretation of a Gewurztraminer.
Loud while elegant on the nose with a slightly bitter, sweet and acidic mouth feel.

In der Wand Riesling 2020

My favorite Austrian producer for Riesling. Acid, acid and more acid. Very steely, crisp, wet rock, apricot, bone dry. — 2 months ago

Siduri

Van der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Noir 2001

This lovely Siduri Pinot Noir is very dark-colored, big, rich, old vine mountain fruit (my recollection is that this is an old “head-pruned” Pinot vineyard, at elevation??), I can see criticism that it’s not really “Pinot Noir-like”, but like the older St. Innocent “Freedom Hill” Pinot Noirs, these wines last a long time, so even if it’s too “big”, it’s rich, intense and complex!! But, you wouldn’t ever guess, “blind”, that this was a red Burgundy. I happen to like it, as it seems youthful and fresh, with further aging potential. — 3 months ago

Very unusual for a PN from 24 years ago to clock in at 14.6%. But glad it’s enjoyable!

Merdinger Spätburgunder 2023

Lyle Fass
9.2

Big, fruity nose of cherries, spice and some cherry jolly rancher. Palate is just a big hug of fruit and juiciness. Terrific energy and sweetness. Wonderful wine. Not complex but so pleasurable. — 2 months ago

Tatomer

Hinter der Mauer Central Coast White Blend 2024

At Sama Sama in Santa Barbara. Excellent really! 50/50 blend in 2024 of Grüner and Riesling. Graham did a great job with this one. Galloni seems to consistently like this one as well. Floral and tropical. Just awesome with asian food. An artist at work. Herbaceous undertow, faint touch of pineapple, apple, 🍏, some lemon, tangerine oil. — 2 months ago
