Danube Valley, Russe

Maritana Vineyards

Le Russe Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Pretty ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose with light wood, roses, spices, licorice and chocolates.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, bing cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very tasty Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley in california. Flowery and engaging. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle and easy drinking. spicy and fruit forward.

I had the 2018 a few years ago, and enjoyed it just as much. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

13% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$75.

Bruck Federspiel Riesling 2021

From my cellar via Lyle Fass - This is a great winery/coop. So much fun to do a tasting there in Austria in the Danube valley and it is free. Have been there a couple of times. A great wine. At this point it is starting to turn and enter the aged phase of Riesling. Elderberry, touch white peach, meyer lemon, hint jasmine. Was an incredible value. And still is if you can find it what a treat!!! — 8 months ago
