Unsung Hero Wines

Hartenberg

Stellenbosch Shiraz 2015

Opaque and concentrated. Savory and meaty with dark raspberry and blackberry fruit as well as licorice and spice.

Perfect tannin for beef bourguignon, watching the bizarre Local Hero. Sadly my last bottle of this, should drink well for many more years.

Bonofiglio Vineyard "Unsung Hero" Viognier Blend 2019

Unsung hero is a play on texture over aroma with a toolkit of aromatic whites and so for me it’s not putting it’s best foot forward. It’s good but I like the smells. Muted soft peach and lime zest. — 4 years ago

Etna Bianco Carricante 2015

Beautiful wine. Deep yellow gold. Floral with some petrol, musk, hay, a little barnyard, and the signature dried yellow flowers of aged Carricante. One of the unsung heroes of Etna Bianco for me. — 2 years ago

Heros Vin de France Syrah

Costco Advent Day 7. So powerfully dry, it’s almost too much but not for me. I loved the dry, earthy flavor! This is by far my favorite of the advent wines so far. I would definitely buy this wine again! Bold and plum forward - and 14.5 % to boot! — 3 years ago

Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese Riesling 2007

Lyle Fass
9.7

Have not had in 5 years. Young as ever. Eternal. Smells like a 17 or 16. Super slate, Granny Smith apple flesh, woodlands, pine, apple skins, so lean and classic. The slate aromatic expression is wonderful. Awesome texture like icing on a cake and superb balance and freshness. What a finish. The unsung Prüm. Really compelling wine. Best showing ever. Such a huge core of fruit and mineral and the finish! This will last 25+ more year and this is my last bottle. What a great bottle. This is last of 4. I tasted this wine with Bert Selbach at the estate and was floored. Now the estate is sold and doesn’t exist anymore and Bert is retired. He was a great winemaker and if you ever find any of his stuff buy it. His Himmelreich and Domprobst stuff is top class and with age they transform . — 2 years ago

La Colombera

Il Montino Colli Tortonesi Timorasso

Reminds me of a cross between a white Burgundy and an Albarino, with aromas teetering toward a Chilean Chardonnay. Notes of ripe pineapple, citrus, hay, almond butter, and minerals. Beautiful, unsung wine deserving more attention. — 3 years ago

Wein-Erbhof Stein

St. Aldegunder Himmelreich Kabinett feinherb Riesling 2015
