Tolle Farbe von Rot bis Rubinrot. Der Wein hat sehr viel Körper un Kraft. Schmeckt nach Wald- und Erdbeere. — 5 years ago
Great everyday drinker! A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Merlot. Aromas of Cranberry, Cherry, and Plum. On the bud, leather, cedar, and stewed fruit. It has a nice finish. If you’re in the Boise area, be sure to visit the friendly team at Hat Ranch. — 9 months ago
There are times when the only thing that will do the trick is an old-school Chenin. And boy was this on target. Positively crackling with acidity, citrus pith and pear, quince and crushed quartz all vibrating with energy in the mouth. You’d never guess this was a 9 year-old wine. Fresh as a daisy and utterly compelling. — 3 years ago
A stunning wine. Nose has sweet wood, hay, lemon, lime flesh, so pure. Stunning clarity. But the palate is there the show starts and stops. Stunning purity, detail and precision. Sweet fruit and sweet wood and an orb effect. Amazing balance and sap. Floats. Superb concentration and length. One of the best Weissburgunders I have ever had. Wow. Too bad he only made it one year! — a year ago
Delightful, funky, lightly carbonated, moderately tart. Would be great with cheddar/bleu cheeses. — 3 years ago
Hat tip to @Delectable Wine @Josh Raynolds for the vintage guidance.
Everything in its place for this mid week pairing w grilled peppers and Persian inspired lamb burgers.
Plenty of dark fruits on the nose. Not a lot of funk. Hint of CO2 on palate entry that dissipates w time in decanter. Suave, silky texture and with balanced acids that seem fairly mild. — 4 years ago

The 2016 “Kalkofen” pours a golden color with maybe a slight sign of some gas? Obviously unintended. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of tropical fruit, petrol, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+(?) acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. There is so much squishy fruit that it seemed to trick the palate initially but with air, this started to show more acid. The finish is long. Drink now and through 2031…possibly longer considering the amount of youthful fruit present. Danke Tim! — 3 months ago
