What a glorious vintage of this wine. Nose is rich and floral but also has a dense shape that you can really smell. Like a trapezoid. Unreal minerals, some hints of weird citrus like tangelo, kumquat, pink grapefruit but also melon, spice, and so much more. Insanely complex. Stunning! 9.7 nose. Palate is just instant devastation. Rich, juicy and bursting with citrus and apricot fruit and so so pure. Unreal salinity, sapidity and density. Coats the palate. So long and satin-like texture. Unreal fruit here and there is a ripe sweetness here that is very uncommon for this wine but takes it to the next level. Genius! — 14 hours ago

One of the rare Cali Pinots which is not a fruit bomb. Mostly raspberry intermixed with cherry, touch chalk well balanced with good acidity and length. 13.5%. These used to be relatively reasonable priced now north of 70$. It’s a shame really. — 3 days ago

Nose: explosively powdered minerals. Lemon flower.

Palate: incisively mineral. Lemon. Good not elite density.

Very Pfalzy. Even if it is Baden.

Wow. These wines can be oaky when young. With some age they are fantastic.

Nose. White flowers.

Palate: bright minerality. So fresh but dense and rich. Delicious. Long. Salty.

So strong and upfront is the nose that calling it a bouquet is an insult; as other notes here attest, hugely floral with all kinds of lime & cardamon accents. On palate quite broad yet detailed, a really interesting blend. — a year ago
