Knewitz
Steinacker Riesling 2022
Lighter vs the Hundertgulden. More pomelo & lemon. Less reduction, a touch shy. Stonier, too.
Ascetic & linear on the palate with racy juicy acidity. Salty minerality, exotic spice. What length! Wow. Racy yet so drinkable. Wow!! One of the highlights in ‘22! — a year ago

Cuvee Les Machons Saint Joseph Syrah 2017
What. A. Nose. Clay, dry clay and wet clay, olive, game, red berry fruit, granite and very stoney. Smells so old school and very stoney. Elegant and so pure. Beautiful. Very pure. Gorgeous black cherry as well and blackberry. Really compelling. Palate is super juicy and clean. Gorgeous mouthfeel and super stoney complexity. Balanced, clean and so pure. Inner mouth aromas are violets. Awesome. The stonier side of St. Joseph. Long chewy and very velvety tannins. Really great. Sappy tiny berry fruit intensity as well on the finish but the stones wash it all away. — 5 years ago

Jimjoca Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015
Savoury, mineral flavours nicely balanced with strawberry lifts. Some whole bunch stuff going on, a bit of funk on the nose, nice drying tannin anchors it all. — 7 years ago

Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2019
I am not a Chardonnay lover but this is so good! Oregon chards just tend to be less oaky and a little stonier. This one’s a keeper!! — 2 years ago
Domaine Martenot Mallard
Saint-Romain La Perriere Les Vieilles Vignes 2014
2022/5/20-21. We had this alongside the Sous le Château from the same vintage. Rich yellow. This is the leaner, stonier of the two, with a nice sour-sweet citrus profile. There’s a subtle honied creaminess hiding in the background - less prominent than with the Château, but clearly there, suggesting this is in its prime drinking window. — 3 years ago

Rather dry, light orange wine. Its pale, light orange color is a surprise , as is the taste. Apricot and peach hints with a drier, stonier finish. Would buy again. Maule Valley, torontel grapes — 11 days ago
