'Jardin d'Eden' Pinot Noir 2023

A delicious, if young, Alsace Pinot Noir. Medium intensity, youthful color. Nose charges out of the batter’s box with musky, fragrant cherries, crushed stone and meadow soil, and a bit of exotic spice. Dry bit with delicious fruit on palate entry, turning lean and emphasizing chalky but soft tannins, good acids, and savory minerals as the palate progresses. A lot of fun to drink now but plainly will get even more interesting over the next few years. — 3 months ago

Schoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling

Enjoyed the complexity of this wine. Orchard fruit, green apple, peach, apricot along with notes of honey and burnt brown sugar. And typical great Riesling acidity. — 7 years ago

Schoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2022

Domaine Amelie and Charles Sparr “Revelation” Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg. Deep brassy gold color. Big nose has loads of ripe, lightly-spiced apple fruit, cracked stone, a bit of petrol, and torn tarragon leaves. Surprisingly soft and fat textured in the mouth, but totally dry. Ripe appley fruit and some stony minerality. Acids seem low at first but sneak in later to keep it fresh. Delicious now, this will keep a few years but doesn’t seem to be a long ager. — 3 months ago

Pensée Pinot Blanc 2018

This is the second wine I’ve had from this Alsace domain and the second wine where the purity and freshness are almost profound. Gorgeously pure nose has ripe appley Pinot Blanc fruit, accentuated by light spice notes, straw, and moist gravelly earth. Intense but very soft and friendly fruit in the mouth. Again, superb purity (apparently the domain farms biodynamically). Decent acids and a fresh finish that has a little herbal thing. Not complex — it is Pinot Blanc, after all — but very satisfying for a weekday white. — 4 years ago

Alsace Riesling 2021

Just Ok not really 94JS points. Big and rich, some kerosine, lemon, creamy, over all lacks anything which makes it interesting. — 3 months ago

Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling 2020

Delectable Wine
9.5

Grown on various parcels, mainly in the gypsum soils, the 2020 Riesling Schoenenbourg Grand Cru was vinified in stainless steel. It has a peppery, earthy, herbal aspect that soon verges into ripe peach and dried lemon peel. The vivid acidity of the palate seems buffered by layers of chalk. All the precision and coolness of the soil is there, making the mouth water, enticing you to take another sip of this sleek, energetic wine. Bone-dry.

Coeur de Barriques Brand Alsace Pinot Gris 2013

Elegant Pinot Gris with a moderately oily texture and off dry palate- good match to our shrimp salad. Textbook Alsatian Gris with solid acidity to match the fruit component. Nice drink 👍 — 7 years ago

Tradition Alsace Gewürztraminer

This was a gift. A step higher sweetness level than I usually seek: "Demi-sec" is a conservative assignation. However, beautiful rosy-grapefruit finish, nice structure: beautiful pairing to spicy Thai noodle dish. — 11 years ago
