The 2022 Pinot Noir Meczan is remarkably pretty. Dusty rose and lavender tones complement wild strawberries. Juicy textures, ripe wild berry fruits, orange zest and tactile mineral tones sweep across the palate. The Meczan tapers off fresh, nearly crunchy in feel, with medium length. $16.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2024) — 7 months ago
Lighter than a sauvignon blanc.

Jermann ‘Blau & Blau’ Rosso 2012: Medium-bodied. Impeccable balance. Nicely integrated tannins with the right level of acidity. The color was bright ruby red and the aromas were red fruit dominate. Tasting notes of strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, herbs, earth, oak & smoke. Dry elegant finish. What an outstanding, unique Northern Italian blend of Blaufränkisch (Franconia in Italy or Lemberger in Germany) & Blauburgunder (Pinot Nero in Italy or Pinot Noir in France). Bought this several years ago at an enoteca in Bellaria, Italia due to the attractive pink label and tonight was the night it would be set free & consumed. Long story short, loved every drop; it was funky. It was fun. It was memorable. Highly recommend. Cheers🍷 — 2 years ago
Feral and crunchy. Lovely tannins and bracing acid. 12.5⁰ alcohol. 2016 is a baby 7 years on. — 10 months ago
Translucent red in colour and beautifully aetheric on the nose. Sappy, fresh, light cherries, a bit of cranberry, a whiff of tree bark and a bit of undergrowth. Very fresh & bright.
On the palate this is light, with very fine, feather light tannins, juicy acidity, fruity yet not sweet. Raspberries & wild strawberries galore with a savoury touch towards the finish.
Very light, perhaps a touch, too light, juicy, enticing. And very, very nice. — 2 years ago

First dinner with AV1 group and first bottle ordered. One of two “house wines”, good balance on nose and palate, not complex but let’s not set the bar too high! Went ok with monk fish! — 4 months ago
