Alsace Gewürztraminer 2018

Floral bomb on the nose. Ripe apricot, honeysuckle, lavender, and minerals on the palate with a hint of petrol. Medium bodied, medium alcohol, medium acid, and medium plus finish. — 2 years ago

Alsace Pinot Noir 2019

Just a perfect accompaniment to simply roasted chicken. Soft nose has bright cherry/red berry fruitiness, and a soft, beet-like earthiness, along with subtle cracked stones. In the mouth it’s soft and nearing maturity, with soft but adequate acids and a decent amount of soft tannin. The flavors have nicely-concentrated soft cherry fruit, and some nice stony minerality. Nice length for a basic Alsace AOC wine. I like this a lot. — 5 months ago

Alsatian Pinot Noir has become a thing these past 10 years or so!!

@Doug Powers - Yes. Global warming has helped a few wines in some cooler areas, this being one (along with Pinot Noir in Germany, Sancerre, and the Finger Lakes). Not to mention Cab Franc in the Loire now not routinely tasting like machine oil!

Watched a video with Andrew Jefford who predicted Alsace would be new Burgundy in the next 10 years

Château de Manissy

Cuvée des Lys Tavel Rosé Blend

Wonderful combination of bright fruit and structure. People sometimes forget that rosés are red wines, but this wine was a wonderful partner for a roast lamb and eggplant dish. Have this wine with food, and enjoy! — 3 years ago
