Bodega Matador

Weingut Wilhelm Weber-Ostermann

Wintricher Großer Herrgot Riesling Spätlese 1988

Got me thinking what was I was doing the day these grapes were picked...napping, punching play-dough, sipping Mott's, laughing apple juice breathe.

This is so good and so alive in '24. Sweet and balanced, enveloped in deep red delicious apples, a thick crisp skin, slathered head to toe in honey, a vein of brushed sage and crunchy topping of burnt popcorn kernels.

Wine really is the matador of time.

🙌🏼 Birth year! I assure you I’m less of a matador than the wine.

So young. Pure nose and aromas. Easily gran reserva quality but much cleaner and pure than a traditional Lopez wine. — 7 years ago

Matador Red Blend 2010

What a bad boy. Full of supple blackberry fruit from the Syrah balanced with lovely and silky tannin from the Tempranillo. Absolutely excellent flavor and structure. Truly exciting for Oregon. — 8 years ago

Big soft headed white octopus. Opaque, hazy, red-just-below-the-head soft-transitions to amber to lemon sorbet. Matador-giant lacings with low angle energy postures; twisted winter woods that stick hard. Lemon cake and orange bread nose breezes sweet carrot and even sweeter grapefruit and delightful cherry blossom. White cherry and raspberry- grapefruit over mandarin and its peel, candied ginger, nutmeg and a pith party. Mined salts and buzzy copper seem to interplay with underripe pineapple and distant orange essence in minutiae. #sixpointbrewing #sixpointbrewery #sixpointhootie #hops@#ipa #indiapaleale #hazy #hazyipa #idahohops #amarillohops #eldoradohops #galaxyhops #beerisculture #nybeer #brooklynbeer #beer #bier #biere #birra #cerveja #cerveza #ale #smallbatchbeer — 4 years ago

Yeh okay I will drink it any summer day. Low acid event, lots of citrus, and won't knock you out @ 12%. Don't look down your nose at me. I bet you had a couple of crocks of Lancer's in your Dad's Matador. Am I right? — 7 years ago

Lots of cedar, marzipan, chocolate, spicyness too. Velvety in the mouth but with much power beneath. #ridge #zinfandel #sonomacounty Paired with beef tenderloin salsify and mushrooms. — 6 years ago
