Another fun blend from Markus Niggli @markuswines 95% #Torrontes from Silvaspoons in @Lodi_Wine Markus Joey Insieme @delectable — 10 years ago
What a nose. Spice, cocoa, earth and very complex. Cherries as well. Super expansive. Leather and wood shavings. Cherry liquer. Wow. Stunning aromas. Palate has energy and purity for days plus awesome sappy texture and grippy but sweet tannins and wonderful sappy cherries. Good freshness and texture and very nimble. This has serious structure and will age very very well. — 2 years ago
@Delectable Wine this is called Graf. The winery is Mohr-Niggli. Thanks!
Coffee/Chocolate/spices/cherry/earthy and mineral. Really wonderful. So enveloping and complete. Super floral and high toned. Wonderful spice. Juicy, deep and concentrated. But so closed. Amazing finesse and nimbleness. Big tannins, finish is a bit short for now but will extend. It has a sneaky persistence. Nose is crazy floral. So sexy and aromatic. Lacey and loose on the palate and tangy and fresh and supple. This has it all going on. Very silky and sweet and opens and opens every second. This is very high quality. This will last 20+ years as well. This is a superstar wine. — 2 years ago
The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill. — 9 years ago
