Pfalz nose, peach, apricot, huge minerals, oeach fuzz, wow what a nose, so so aromatic. wow huge fruit and acidity but also round like elite riesling. So so deep, cuts a swath across the palate. There’s honey but more will come with age. Inner mouth confectionary, killer, so deep and such a long finish. Wow. Amazing acidity and so ultra long. Juicy and delineated. Needs air and I will be back. Unreal grip and tannin and so explosive. Just stunning. American GG in the house. Now after 9 hours the nose is more complex with wet stones and more pronounced peach and apricot. So juicy and energetic and huge citrus. — 4 months ago
Late to post but too good not to post. 00 VGR (Very Good Red) - This wine was stunning. Like a walk on the beach in the early morning kind of stunning. 00 was founded by Chris and Kathryn Herman. This Willamette Valley duo is producing some really beautiful wines. If you have not tried their wines, you need to move them to the top of your list. The 2019 VGR was complex, alluring, silky, and everything else you want from a really nice Pinot. The vineyards that made up this wine included: Shea, Stardance, Eola-Amity Hills (a secret vineyard), Hyland Vineyard, and Chehaleam Mountain Vineyard. I see this one getting better with age, but no reason to not enjoy it now.
