Lots of grapefruit and slate — 6 months ago

We had the pleasure of opening the 2021 Hermann J. Wiemer.
On the nose there was nice strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, herbaceous notes and green bell pepper.
On the palate there was good strawberry, raspberry, red plum, green bell pepper, a bit of oak and crushed gravel.
This is a medium bodied wine with light velvety mouthfeel medium to medium + acidity and medium to medium + fine tannins that leaves with a medium to medium + red fruit gravel dust finish. Well it looks as though spring can't make up her mind. This weekend looks to be a bit on the cooler side so lets get out and enjoy ourselves. Please stay safe and healthy.

Blinded a dear buddy in the wine trade on this tonight, guesses all over the place, in a great spot, want to see this in 10+Y.
72H Update:
Nose has crushed blackberries, ripe plum, dried plum, dried tart cherries, moist mahogany and faint moist soil. Palate has tart plum, light molasses, blackberry compote, faint leather notes and fine tannins. Not as good as day one, but no slouch on day three. A wonderful experience, many years in the bottle to go ahead. — 4 years ago


Don’t always love white wines, but enjoyed this one a lot — 5 years ago
Floral with acidity but does have a little more sweetness than other Rieslings from the same vintner. As it opens develops some banana top notes. — 4 months ago
I like FLX rieslings, HJW’s better than most. With that basis, this one is an A-. Structure and flavor is good with mild layering. But of sweet flowery notes (without making the overall wine sweet). — 7 months ago
Excellent. Fresh, fruity, and very drinkable. Juicy and delicious. Quite dry. Little finish, but who cares. Wish I bought more. — 2 years ago

Potential to go even higher with more age. — 5 years ago
Straw and green apples and the nose and palate. Finishes like a Granny Smith. Good acidity with some sugar but not too much sweetness. Reserve is a step up but this is a great value. — 3 months ago

For London Lees Edi Steph Cindy David Day late BD dinner and Edi’s afternoon request. Nice golden amber color and nicely balanced floral unctuous profile. — 4 years ago
Still young and needing air to open and show better. But still really enjoyable now with interesting g possibilities for aging. — 5 years ago
Dry, but not flinty, with a touch of fruit and a lot of minerality. Peach, apricot, apple, and honey. Light and crisp! — 5 years ago
